Another post from Ireland

Yesterday I woke up to a thick fog. Which usually means a sunny day. And I was right! I rented a bike because I wanted to visit the Gap of Dunloe again, and this time see all of it. I read that you can take your rented bike on a boat which will then take you through all 3 lakes up to the starting point of the Gap. I always wanted to do this and the day seemed perfect for it. And it was! It was quite a ride and hike, especially the first part up to the Gap (245 meters), but once I reached the highest point it was all going down, which was fantastic. Some pics:

Some fog is still visible on the mountains, which made it look wonderful.



Blue boat took me to Lord Brandon's, starting point of the Gap.



I came from all the way down there and haven't yet reached the top.



Can it get more beautiful than this?



The actual Gap. Last (and first) time I was here, I was there with my dad and we hiked through it on foot. Which was exhausting. It went a lot quicker by bike!



Looking back at the Gap.
