I love people. I love all people and I love talking to all people. Sometimes this annoys companions because I’m always striking up a conversation with the person next to me in line, or beside me on a plane/bus/train, or in an airport, or in a busy street…basically if you make eye contact with me, I’m going to chat you up. Chances are pretty good, too, that you’ll be left with a… Read More
The ride to Doolin was one of the most enjoyable I’ve had yet. It was more than just Conor Pass, my (mis)adventure over the ferry ride or deciding whether or not I had time for the Cliffs of Moher. It was frame of mind that made the day so pleasant too. Ok…if you check out my back stories you’ll know my frame of mind was a little on the fretful side for a… Read More
Leaving Dingle I headed up Conor Pass. It was absolutely stunning! The parking area for stepping out and taking it all in was absolutely nuts and I was sort of forced into a shitty spot. I’m noticing a huge change in myself in this regard though. I was forced to park in a stupid spot…ok the spot wasn’t stupid, it’s just that I drove straight in rather than back in and I… Read More
The Happy Canuck never misses an opportunity to chat with everyone she meets!
Leaving Dingle for Conor Pass was a bit nerve-wracking. It’s Ireland’s highest mountain pass and I knew it was going to be one tight and twisty turn after another. I admit I’d lost some confidence over the round-a-bout incident and I’d built this Pass up to be a death-defying feat like none I’d faced to date. With Paul’s gentle encouragement from the day before still whispering persistently in my ear, I set… Read More
Riding a motorbike through Ireland is amazing, but comes with some exhilarating and hair raising moments!
Although I wrote about the great good time I had in Dingle earlier, I wanted to share a few pictures that weren’t available then. It had been a rough day for me, so by the time I arrived, I was pooped out, starving, and feeling bummed about only staying in this gorgeous location only one day! My first stop in Dingle after I showered away the road was Out of the Blue… Read More
Going back a few days on this post, but it was an interesting enough day to warrant a post. I missed seeing quite a bit while in Killarney, and was just so tired that I didn’t relish the thought of hopping back on the bike. I’d had such a smashing time the night before and was just a bit worn out. Instead, I settled for touring around the town on foot and… Read More
What an eventful day yesterday! I’ll share a few pictures at some point, but I need to tell you about my night last night first. After a great deal of stress, I finally managed to make it to Pax House in Dingle. What a place! The view is absolutely amazing. John, the owner, is a lovely and caring man and the staff are just beautiful people. Because my day had been very… Read More
I pulled in to Killarney at about 10:30 at night. I was SO relieved I’d made it after such a long journey! It was great to have learned how to successfully gamble today, but it REALLY set me back time wise! I was eager to check in, drop off my gear and head out for some grub and a drink. The grub proved fairly difficult to find, given the late hour. One… Read More
