Weather had improved and scenery was spectacular

We continued to drive down the coast line which was beautiful and by early afternoon made it to Kilrush and parked on the Marina for afternoon smoko.  Clara gave us a kiwi for our journey and you will see him appear in photos now and then :)

Drove back to Ennis to catch up with Paula  at the Ground Hotel and then out to her place in Tulla for a chinese. Thanks for putting us up Paula it was great catching up. 

So excited to see Paula again after 25 years -  we forgot to take any photos - UNBELIEVABLE

Off to Tralee this morning.
