Day 7 and 8 of Bike Trip
Things are looking up once again...the sun is shining! (its incredible how important that is for a good time...) yesterday we made it through the beautiful burren region and began to dry out. The burren is like a barren moonscape with tons of ancient dolmens (megalithic tombs) and unique landscapes. Unfortunately it is also extreeeemely hilly and tested our abilities to the max. Our arrival time was seriously pushed back and we made it about 25 measly kilometers. We arrived in Doolin for day 8, which we've been told has great trad (traditional irish music) and is a short walk from the cliffs of Moher. We are off to hike them now, actually! The weather is looking good for the next few days and we are headed south from here towards Dingle and the Ring of Kerry. Cross your fingers that the weatherman is right for once!

Hi Kristy and Jared! Thanks for giving us your blog details, great to know you're doing ok and enjoying the fab weather. We're in the Ring of Kerry now and have seen some great places. You should definitely go to the Inch Peninsular near Dingle. You can camp for free in the dunes behind the beach and use the public toilets in the car park. Greenes, the restaurant/bar overlooking the beach is absolutely fab. Once you get to the Ring itself, stay at Mannix Point campsite in Cahersiveen, we're here right now and it's wonderful. Free wifi, a living room and kitchen for campers to use and pitches right on the water - definitely recommended. Good luck with the rest of your trip and fingers crossed the weather continues to be kind to all of us. We've been thinking about you as we've been driving along, it all feels too easy in a van! Keep pedalling! Rachel and John.
