Dingle Way day 2, That’s amazing!

Night 2 B & B

 

We wake up, dress, check the weather and our route and head downstairs for breakfast.  You can have as much food as you like at these places.  They all have cereal, fruit, bread, yogurt and then you can order what you want.

I’m still a bit tired but the day looks beautiful and the walk is supposed to be easier but those wet boots!  I am not excited to put those on.  Valerie our host says, your boots are in the hallway, there is a brush to remove the dried mud!  And I’m thinking the cow poop too!  Gross.  Much to my surprise I pick up my boots and they are dry!  That is a very welcome surprise.  I knew it would be somewhat muddy here but I have no idea were would be walking miles through 6-10 inches of muck.

So with dry boots we head off to the trail.  It isn’t bad enough we are supposed to walk 18km today we have to walk 1km just to reach the start!

 

A much better day

Todays hike was beautiful and only a couple areas of muck.  We saw so many sheep, cows, a few horses and a beautiful beach for a cooked meal.

 

Just like home, you can learn to surf! Not like home you can drive onto the beach

Nice view they have

 

We see lots of falling down structures

At our half way point I’m realizing I can do this!  We arrived at our B&B about 2:30 and that included a 1km walk down to the beach in Inch, and lunch.  Yep, we walked about 20 km today and I’m good to go!

 

After checking in we clean up and head out for dinner.  We are in Annaschual and it looks like it has 6 pubs, 4-5 B & Bs, a tiny store that has a bit of food and an ice cream counter .  So we go to South Pole Inn where one of their residents is a famous explorer in Antarctica.  No food though so we have our beer, and head to Patcheens pub for dinner.  When we arrive about 5:30, there is one guy at the bar and the bartender.  We ask to eat, the bartender takes our order and soon our beef stew is here!  The bartender is also the waiter.  Soon the place starts filling up with both people wanting dinner and a few that just want a pint!  The bartender is doing everything!  We finally ask and he says yes he is the bartender, waiter, chef, busboy, dishwasher but help is on the way!

So day two is done!
