Dingle, Kerry
I hate tourist areas. I live
in one and visiting one such as Dingle exposes the façade. I am surrounded by
the English, the tourist which I am, I was served by an English woman whilst
shopping for holiday presents, served by an American woman in a café which was
ran by the English. Where has Ireland
gone? I miss it already.
Brandon Bay
We have travelled full circle
back to Brandon Bay and just like that first day the
surf is small and on-shore. At least we are back on the beach.
What am I left with after a
month in Ireland?
My feelings of anticipation at the beginning of this journey abated and on
reflection were misguided nevertheless they were real and genuine. For the most part I am left with an
overwhelming desire to return and ride the right at Easkey.
