Thursday, August 28, 2003 (Kenmare - Republic of Ireland)
We can't fill
every
day with excitement. The weather and our mood are tightly linked. In search of
traditional music.
Day 169. This will be a short entry as we did
very little today other than a lot of driving. We started off in a campsite
somewhere just South of Kinsale. With very few places of interest to draw us in,
we travelled along the coast road in a Westerly direction before turning
northwards with the Ring of Kerry being our final destination. We stopped of a
couple of times along the way for lunch and to admire the view but otherwise did
precious little else.
It’s
amazing just how much the weather can influence our mood. Most of the morning
was overcast, grey and miserable - accordingly, so were we. The skies only
cleared up a bit after we reached as far as Kenmare which will mark the start of
our somewhat circular tour of the Ring of Kerry on Ireland’s West
coast.
We were going to go into town
this evening to try to find a nice little pub where we could sit and listen to
traditional Irish musicians practice their music talents but we ended up being
so tired, we decided to have an early night instead.
