Day 23

Day 23, Owen and I are headed back to Killaloe to pick up Claire’s purse that was left at the cottage before everybody gets up.

A visit to Trevor and Barbara’s house is in order today.  On our way over, we meet up with Trevor on his daily bike ride leading us to their home on the outskirts of town.  Trevor and Barb show us around their home and their caravan.  Claire gets side-tracked with Trevor’s numerous photo albums of his trips in the attic.

On to the north Atlantic for a swim if we are brave enough.  New Key was our destination where we found a sandy beach with crystal clear water to swim in.  The first dip was a shocker at 14 degrees Celsius, but you really did get used to after a while.  Owen was ready to stay in all day but we had a hike round the peninsula to do.

A stop for some handmade ice cream courtesy of Barbara and small bay full of swans on our way back.  A quick tour of another abbey ruins and dinner at Cassidy’s restaurant in the heart of the Burren.  Owen made friends with the local dogs again.

A relaxing day planned for tomorrow and then on our way home.  Cheers till tomorrow.

Trevor the tour guide again.
