Oh my, has it only been Three days, well from the begining as this is the first internet cafe I've come across .
Set out Sat the weather was rubbish as predicted by the weather fella high winds and rain, now when I say high winds I mean it heading down the A40 outside Burford its was so bad that i was standing on my right peg to stop the bike being blown out from underneath me. Well as I said it pissed on me all the way over the Breacon Mountains so at about 5pm stopped at a B&B just outside Breacon. Sun promptly came out.
Next morning road down to Fishguard, by the way the roads in Wales are great, smooth as glass, Welsh Police however are miserable wankers and look at you like your a dog dropping riding by, this wasn't just one copper it was all of them.
Anyway got the ferry to Rosslare weather bad people sick all over, cool made me laugh (not being prone to sea sickness).
Landed at 6 in the evening and headed for the nearest stopping place Cedar Lodge Hotel . I wouldn't recomend it expensive for what it was , fit girl working behind the bar was nice to chat to though.Next morning on the bike and headed west to Cork , stopped at a roadside tea stop met a cdool Biker who appeared from inside his beat up old van wearing leathers and a skull and cross bones bandana recomende3d a couple o bars in tralee to check out , nice guy.
Pulled into Cork at Lunch time the guys from the tattoo shop tipped me off as to where to leave the bike and get food , ta guys.
After eating I headed for Blarney and kissed the Blarney Stone , well you got to don't you? Besides a little extra luck never hurt on a bike trip. Actually I'd recomend Blarney castle Beautiful place to visit. Then the rain started again so i took that as a que to leave. Off to Kilarney took the r roads to get there great ride twisting back roads all the way hard to ride in the rain but very rewarding , having reached Kilarney at about 6 I stopped at a Hotel I've been to before The Hotel Europe 5 friggin Stars no less cheap though really(not)200 Euro worth every penny, oops sorry cent , top food and the best views of Kilarney Loch, Hot bath, steam room and plunge pool , swimming pool (indoor) the works, awsome.
Reluctantly left the Europe today and rode the N70 coast road , so beatiful its silly. Which my friends is where I'm at now nearly at the Ring of Kerry in a cafe drinking coffee and writing this, so your up to date. No pics for you yet got loads but this part of Ireland dosn't have Broadband yet so it would take too long. Write soon Bye....
