Hard to know where the time has gone. We've been here nearly three weeks and in two days this part of the trip is over and it's off to the IoM for the bike races.
Is been a fantastic trip overall. The usual little trials and tribulations of two people traveling in close company and one big one when we managed to drop the bike whilst Megan was getting on to it. Unfortunately she ended up the bottom of the pile, with me and bike on her and consequently had a very sore and stiff leg and knee for the last two weeks. It's now being better but so slowing her down a bit - but she's taken it amazingly stoicly.
The trip itself has been predominantly a tour of the Irish coast heading clockwise from Rosslare where we landed to our current location of Derry. The only significant inland excursion was in the first few days of the trip, when we visited Glendalough, site of a seat of Irish learning in the 9th to 12th centuries, and more importantly for us the name of the farm in Australia that Megan (who is proudly of Irish descent) grew up on and has (until very recently) been in her family for several generations. A few pictures of Glendalough (including of a circular bell tower that are very typical all over southern Ireland) below.
