Whisky in the Jar


So, I'm back. Made it over the Cork and Kerry mountains to Kenmare for some chowder and the market, back round the Beara Peninsula to Bantry for an icecream. Dinner and drinks in Schull. Then out into the countryside via Goleen to Crookhaven, Barley Cove and Mizen Head (you can search for these, as every place in West Cork seems to have its own website). Fresh wild salmon sandwiches. Lots of alcohol free Becks. Blarney Castle, then back to Cork airport. Almost all of it in glorious sunshine (my head is now peeling again). Go. Flights and car hire cost almost nothing.

Are you STILL off the booze? Do you recommend it? Do you feel as fresh as a daisy? (Was this solo-travel, if that's not a rude question?)

I am still off the booze - sobriety in Ireland is a strange thing. As is Goleen - apparently the residents are seen as odd by the other inhabitants of West Cork - very insular.
