Sive Hostel, Caherciveen

So off we went hitch hiking again, and were super lucky this time when the second car to pass us stopped to take us in! The kind man was Sean, a Scottish man who spent most his life in America and now lived in the area. We were again dropped right to our destination and arrived at Sive Hostel in no time.
On arrival we met the lovely Mary who told us the originally planned trip to Skellig Island had been changed, and we were now to take a boat trip around Valentia Island and learn the history of the places we saw. She had also called a local bar called The Fertha where we were to sing for our supper! We called into the bar and were greeted with a meal fit for a king! Noel, the owner, also took us for a drive around the local sights which was much appreciated as there were some beautiful places to be seen! He then took us back to his bar where we played a few tunes and were further rewarded with a couple of glasses of wine! Noel has kindly offered to provide lunch for us today as well, a testament of the generosity that still exists in Ireland! We'd also like to mention Sarah; the best bar tender in Ireland (and possibly the world!)
Earlier on in the evening Claire had done a quick interview on 2fm which was truncated but hopefully gained some publicity for the cause!
We're here now in Caherciveen Library, ready to take on our challenge for today.....
