Is feidir liom...imagine!

Hi all!
So we're finally catching up with you all, two days without Internet!
After a lovely breakfast with Itay in Kenmare Lodge Hostel, Lydia, the proprietor of the hostel, gave us a lift to our next destination which was just 6 miles outside of town. It was a remote little spot and upon arrival we were proposed a gardening challenge for our nights accommodation in Greenwood Hostel! So we took out our green fingers, a pair of gloves and clippers and size 10 wellies and set to work taking out a blackberry bush from a ditch! It was threatening rain but held off while we were at work. After that we were on the hungry side of the fence so we walked about two miles out a dangerous road (100km per/h speed limit down here!) to Pat Spillanes Bar. When we arrived there wasn't much we could do to earn a meal but Martina must have taken pity on us and kindly provided us with two toasted specials and some salad! We had to return to the hostel before night fell as the road was too dangerous to walk in the cape of darkness!
Back at the hostel we amused ourselves by completing a 500 piece picture puzzle of Ireland...i'll tell ya we know our counties now boy!
We slept well and woke early the next morning for yet another day of adventure...

  1. I had long ago learned that when you are the giant, alien visitor to a remote and foreign culture it is sort of your job to become an object of ridicule. It’s the least you can do, really, as a polite guest.
