DAY 12 — BANTRY TO KINSALE… VIA A VERY BRIEF WATERFORD 😂🇮🇪
Ireland finally remembered it was August! ☀️
Left Bantry and headed for Kinsale, and what a cracking place. Blue skies, colourful streets, gorgeous harbour, a wander around the marina and a cuppa in the sunshine. Definitely one of the prettiest stops of the trip.
Then onwards to Waterford…
We’d barely arrived before we spotted someone walking a ferret on a lead. In hindsight, that should probably have been our first sign to keep driving. 😂😂
Had a wander around, gave Waterford a fair chance but… nope, just wasn’t for us. So we jumped back in the motorhome and carried on.
And what a decision that turned out to be.
Eventually landed at a beachside car park at Ballinesker, blue skies overhead, sea right in front of us and shoes straight off for a walk along the beach. 🌊🚐
Bantry ➡️ Kinsale ➡️ Waterford ➡️ “Is that a ferret?” ➡️ Ballinesker. 😂
Sometimes the best part of having the motorhome is knowing when to stay…
and knowing when to get the hell out of Waterford. 😂🇮🇪🍻
