day 6
We left Galway in glorious sunshine, and headed South. A lovely route along the West coast, that took us to Killimer ferry terminal, where the ferry would take us from County Clare into County Kerry.
On towards Tralee, then heading to Dingle peninsula.
We then stumbled onto Coumeenoole beach, at which “Ryan’s Daughter” was filmed. We took the wee road down, then hardly got the bikes turned to get back up again… 
Then back to Tralee to our hotel and a nice dinner.

We left Tralee under an overcast sky, and headed for The Gap of Dunloe. A very narrow, and extremely pretty, mountain pass.
Then we continued on the Ring of Beara, a circular route on the Beara peninsula. Just stunning.
We had to have a picture with a WAW-sign, of course…
More stunning scenery…
Back at the hotel for some dinner…

About 10C cooler… We also had a bit of rain - well it was spitting a bit really, not really worth mentioning.

day 8
We set off towards the Ring of Kerry this morning in lovely weather. Getting out of Killarney was a nightmare, but after that lovely roads.
After “The Ring” we headed for Cork, not that inspiring but nice riding all the same. Getting into Cork was even worse than getting out of Killarney, but what can you do?
Finished the day off with a couple of pints and a nice meal.
Then it was saying goodbyes - I’ll have to be off at 04.00 to get to my ferry in Rosslare in time, and Dougie will be heading up to Dublin for his ferry several hours later.
It’s been brilliant touring with Dougie, and of course the first day with @Wessa, @Dawsy and Dilli was great too.
So for the last leg(s) home I’ll be Billy-no-mates…

What a great write up Wim. I really enjoyed the pictures, many bringing back fond memories for me. Hopefully you will get to the south coast for your train before the rain hits the UK.
Ride safe.

I hope you made your ferry ok. I’m guessing that by now you are on your way to Kent. Ride safe.

I left at 4.00 (!) in the morning so as to be able to get to the ferry in time. The first hour was a bit dodgy as it was pitch black - I had to dodge several foxes! When it got lighter it was actually pretty nice, if a bit nippy…
Got to the ferry, checked in and then waited for embarkation.
Bike secured, then some breakfast followed by a nap…
First on A-roads, most of it on the A40, which was actually fun.
After about 110 miles it was time to get some distance on, so went on the M4. Now in a hotel in Woking, having a well deserved pint.
