Well last night we decided let’s not move on from this site for another night as it is so nice and clean and we can have showers and also can charge everything up as we will be off grid or wild camping on Thursday evening probably. Woke up to another glorious day and could hear a cuckoo bird which was lovely to be honest. Went to Fanad Head lighthouse today and decided that we would take the tour of the lighthouse which was a great decision especially as it only cost 10 euros each. I did not know that lighthouses now do not have a lighthouse man (okay let’s be PC lighthouse person or even keeper) any more, they are totally run by technology. Fanad Lighthouse is an iconic working lighthouse at the mouth of Louth ... read more

So we set off mid morning after filling up with water as we had to ditch it yesterday to get the MH round the hairpin bend - if you have not read yesterday’s blog you need to as at one stage I did not think we would be going any further. Our intent was to spend the night at Fanad Head, well we did not quite make that but we were okay as we found a nice campsite in Port Salon - a few miles from Fanad Head and so I can have a shower in the morning. We start off stopping at Glenevin Waterfall which was a nice break then went to Dunaff Head which was once again amazing - the views are fantastic although the roads? well some of them would be tight in ... read more

We spend last night in a 350 year old manor house in the town of Letterkenny. What an experience! Very old and kinda a little creepy but fun! Today we are in Bundorin on the coast. Had dinner at a pub and tomorrow we are back to Dublin to return the car! While on the Northern Ireland coast we went to the Giants Causeway and we walked the rope bridge too! The north coast kind of reminded me of Nova Scotia and Eastern Canada. Very friendly people, not much traffic and beautiful scenery! Bye for now!... read more

Oi Amigos, Desculpe a demora pela tradução. Só estou aqui na Irlanda à uma semana, e já conheci muitos dos pessoas que estão números interessados. Eu fui numa escola onde oferecem aulas de música tradicional irlandesa, mas a escola é só um pseudônimo para uma festa gigantesca onde todos os músicos populares daqui tocam nos bares até eles fecharem. Eu fui lá 4 vezes e toquei, toquei, toquei... Foi super divertido, e a melhor parte disso tudo é a minha pesquisa. Sim, de novo estou fazendo um projeto sobre a única coisa que eu adoro (além da minha família e de Salvador, é claro): a música! O método desta pesquisa está sendo muito fácil. Basicamente: ouvir, tocar a música e falar com os músicos. Este trabalho está me preparando para a escola depois que minhas aulas ... read more

Wow, its a busy week! Actually it would be if I got around to doing anything. As it is, my head is just busy, but nothing is getting done So here I am in Letterkenny, Co. Donegal - up in the north-west of Ireland. Letterkenny originated as a small fishing village and has grown to be the largest town in the north west. Strange then, that they don't have a fishmongers ... Anyway, as the tourism website for the town states, "Come and stay for a night, a weekend or a week and we know that you will be back for a longer period and more often!". Catchy slogan, eh? I really think that site could do with some work done to it, it's little wonder there's a serious lack of tourists around here, apart from ... read more
