View larger map
Hello again,
Today we arrived in Kinvara located on Galway Bay , in a recess. But start at the beginning, Thursday 6.
We wake up in Killarney fantastic day after we go through the Beara Peninsula and crossing of Kerry by the respective steps Healy Pass and Dunloe Gap. Fernando had an incipient toothache and went to the doctor with the European SS card and prescribed an antibiotic. After this little problem we went to the Dingle Peninsula by R563 in Miltown sense and then to Castlemaine and hence we took the road that runs along and passes through Inch and ends in Anascaul , where we take a coffee at the South Pole Tavern, very cool, adventure full of pictures of the poles. Memory fails me now, but I think the farm a descendant of Amundsen (as I will of another, but there is the issue).
then follow the N86 towards Dingle. Unlike the previous day, this area is full of people, many cars, a lot of tourism. Yet the scenery is beautiful, the road is sandwiched by VECD some walls of vegetation with red flowers, orange, yellow and lira, is like a tunnel colored plant for hundreds of meters. We arrived at the beach in Inch was filmed "Ryan's Daughter" and we put the bikes on the beach at low tide. The beach is enormous, from there you can see the peninsula Kerry, a cloudy day with an impressive light. We continue to Dingle and we left the R559 , coasting. The road is narrow and soon hits a stone wall on the right and the sea on the left. Just before we drop a sudden downpour and got wet enough, but it ends soon and we do not get the water equipment. We follow the road stopping where can. The scenery is breathtaking and here and there appears a beautiful beach with several intrepid surfers or on plates in the water. Eat near Ballyferriter in a tavern. We return to Dingle and climb the Connor Pass . Dingle
From the climb is very fun, open curves with high visibility that the GS up with total smoothness. Top view is impressive, both from the side as another. The descent on the other side explains that we have to give way. The road is very narrow and at several points can not pass cars or bikes in both directions. We went down in convoy. We towards Tarbert the N69 where we stayed with Paul, the rent, so that we replace Fernando Transalp has damping wrong. We arrived a little before six o'clock in the afternoon and the bike there are "new." We change things and take the ferry that takes us to Killimer and food to Kilrush by N67. We slept in a B & B in the middle of the village, which has a pub below the prize for the best throw in the Guinness, which we aim!. After dinner, we had a beer at the pub as we hear and play live Irish music.

Today Friday dawns, with very good looking to ride a motorcycle. The ideal temperature is these days and has been very little rain so far, at least for what we expected. Full Irish breakfast our Breakfast and drive to Kilkee. That people calmer, with a small bay in which several children are learning sailing and rowing. It is a relaxing place. We continue to Loop Head by R487. This projection should be swept by the wind has many farms and clearly shows how hard life must be here. We arrived the lighthouse and the views are breathtaking, is a somewhat mystical place, with the wind, the green, the cliffs (small scale what are the Moher, but people see them without making them larger). We return to Kilkee, we take a cappuccino and went to Quilty and English Point , place in several English galleons sank. There is a plaque with a visit of the Kings of Spain and there we have made some pictures with the flags of the SAFA Bikers, English and of Asturias, an entire deployment. Then we went to the Cliffs of Moher by R479. Here it is a procession of cars and buses. The cliffs are very nice but I like so many people lose a lot of charm. We went to Doolin , where ferries depart to the islands of Arran and eat some food that we bought in a supermarket, we take on some rocks to walk from the sea, watching the ferries come and go. Continue to cost the R477 and went through the Black Head . The road is very beautiful, very rocky, very difrutar curve at low speeds. So, turn around, landscape beyond, sea all the time we reached Ballyvaughan , pueblin where a cafe attached to the sea again we feel very good, continue to Kinvara by N67. Tomorrow we
pass Leenane Galway way to sleep in Achill Islands, joined by a bridge that must be worth seeing. and Ireland on Sunday will cut in half to turn to Naas and return the bikes on Monday, since it gives us more time.
were 243 km yesterday and today I set, but close to 200.
continue to count if we find holes.
