As I overslept 1 hour, I changed my plan. The trip to Athlone (Moydrum castle) would take at least 3 hours and during this period of moving back home from Ireland and sorting tons of things I cannot afford to loose a whole day for a trip. Decision was changed to Mizen Head, the south-westernmost point of Irish isle. Although I was there before, I remembered how it fascinated me and surely I wanted to feel the sea at last.

Took camera, video camera and found out I’ve already packed up all my Irish maps… So I needed to buy another one, again. I chose to go via Macroom and Bantry. Both are amazingly charming towns and the road between them was wonderful.

Surely, I lost the way a bit when I was trying to get to Toormore (which I visited on the first amazing trip with my girlfriend) from Bantry. But it was just minor flaw and I was basically heading the right direction, I just took the different road and prolonged the trip. ;)

Unfortunately, I came to Mizen Head just to find out the bridge is closed and tickets were sold just for visitor’s centre. Well, nothing for me, so I decided to stop at Barley Cove beach on the way back home. What a beautiful piece of land it is! I just love the sea, the ocean, although it was like walking in liquid ice cubes, where Irish were swimming. As usually. ;) The sand was wonderful and the summerish weather just underlined the great feeling of freedom I had there.
