Our last day of walking.
Today we are on a walk that we see many more people, it is a short distance from Dublin and a popular walk. We come
across many lookouts and so much heather again, it is beautiful. It is also the first day that we see true
trekkers, they are taking down their tent in the middle of nowhere, they have
spectacular views from their tent!
The end of the trail today is in a parking lot. We had called the taxi when we reached the
waterfall and told them we were close, taxi was waiting when we reached the
bottom. A father and son that we had met
along the way were also waiting for us to share the taxi to our B&B, we
were so surprised to see them as we thought they were ahead of us, we have no
idea where we passed them.
This B&B is really like a small hotel. Lots of confusion with a few of us arriving
at the same time. This was the B&B
we liked the least, but we are only here one night. There is nothing at all near this
B&B. A taxi/van takes everyone into
town for dinner, tells us we have 2 hours then picks us up again. It was the
same man driving this taxi that picked us up at the end of our walk today, he
has a goldmine doing this!
There are a few restaurants to pick from in this small
town. Decision made and they are setting
up for a surprise 60th birthday party as we are finishing
dinner. Lots of laughs and fun, Andre
got in line to shake his hand and say happy birthday, quite the look on
birthday boys face!
The 2 Canadian sisters were also in the same restaurant,
couldn’t figure out what they were doing.
Turned out they had bought a bottle of wine for later, it was in her bag
that fell of the table and broke. What a
mess all her stuff was!
Back at the hotel and we met a young couple that are about
to start walking. We give them our poles
that we bought on the first day, we no longer need them, and they will do some
hiking so we know they will appreciate them.
Only thing we told them is they have to pass them along at the end of
their trip.
