Tipperary to Kerry

After Teaand Toast breakfast we started off to a small town near Cahir where I have been 22 years ago. We are travelling mainly on the smaller roads with stone walls to both sides or guarded by rows of trees … wonderful.

It was still a bit cold so a hot chocolate when we refilled the bikes kept us warm. And then suddenly blue skies and sunshine – the weather changes frequently here – as we visited some historic sites with wedge tombs and stone circles.

Further south we came through the Cork mountains to the sea and headed for the Beara coastal road and later across Healy Pass to Kenmare.

On a perfect spring morning we continued our journey across France and in the afternoon reached Normandy’s Omaha beach and the neighbouring D-Day sites from WW2 where we made a short final stop before embarking the Irish Ferries ‚Oscar Wilde‘. As there was the opportunity we chose a five star suite – what a difference to our usual travels taking deck passage in sleeping bags but honestly after the 1200km ride on one and a half days we deserved it.
