Gap of Dunloe

I can't believe we are at the end of our riding trip.  Tomorrow, everyone will go their separate ways.  Some are flying home, and some are doing more days in different cities.  Dan and Karen are actually going north to Belfast with our Tour Guides and doing 5 more days of riding in the north.  We will be traveling on to Cork, Kinsale, Kilkenny, Limerick, and then on to Shannon where we will fly home.

 

Today's adventure was magnificent!  We rode our bikes to Ross Castle and took a boat ride (with our bikes) across the lake (in the rain) for a 1 and a half hour ride to the base of the Gap of Dunloe.

At this point, we had to get out of the boat and walk a ways because the waterway was too narrow.

 

 

It was wet and wild, but I'm SO glad we did it!  On the boat we met Carmel and Karen.  They were so delightful to talk to.  Karen, on the right, was actually the MAYOR of her town! 

Well, I have to admit, I haven't done any riding like I've done here in Ireland:

Jami Ribera 190.1 miles 11,270 ft. of climbing 5 days

Excited for the next part of our journey.......not exciting about renting a car and driving in this bloody country!!
