Trip to Ireland - Day 1 - Part I
After
picking the car up from Cork Airport we travelled to the 2 hours
to Bantry and then headed along the peninsular to the cottage. Needless
to say, with Jon navigating and Rob driving we managed to get ourselves
lost. Rob even tried a bit of off roading in new Renault Megane
we had hired!!

Whoops - I don't think we were meant to
go up this road - but how do we turn around!?!

Below:
Jon & I had to get out the car to
guide Rob on a 24 point turn!

Jon & Rob survery the views.


Above
& Below: The town of Bantry. Visiting
Ireland felt like going back in time 50 years. There were no retail
chains in sight - instead we had O'Murphy's buthers, and O'Conners
Pharmacy!! Very strange - but cool.

After visiting Bantry to stock up on food
we headed off down the peninsular in search of danger.

& Below: Jon decided to climb the
local cliff, while Rob & I took photos. The cloud was pretty
fantastic - it was like a blanket - but it didn't move!!
