IRELAND IN THE BAG

From Malahide, we cycled through Dublin, a total of 75.6 km (47 mi), to a campsite in Wicklow right on Georges Channel. The day was a breeze thanks to the 20mph tail wind. There was a bit of swell when we arrived and we were tempted to hop in the water, but it was a bit chilly out and we would have had to pay for a warm shower. We woke in the am to sheep baa-ing and we were off to Arklow for some coffee. Most of the day was full of riding as we headed south toward Wexford where we hoped to have camped for the night. Unfortunately the camping season had ended and we continued further south to a campsite called St. Margarets. We cycled a total of 109.5 km (68.04 mi) that day. This am we awoke to he same cow that moo-ed us to sleep, and we cycled an additional 8 km (4.9 mi) to catch the ferry from Rosslare, Ireland to Fishguard, Wales. We are enjoying the down time on the ferry and hope to update again soon. Catch you later!
