We woke up to the sound of rain. So we packed up the tent and had breakfast. The weather looked iffy to say the least. Off we went. It started raining but cleared quite quickly. The road from Dingle was good, fast tail wind (the first of our trip). The road along the coast was beautiful to look at as well.
We stopped for lunch at Killorglin, the site of the puck king (Google it :-D). We found this wonderful bakery which meant we bought way too much bread, cheese salami, quiche and apple strudel. Nom Nom Nom.
We then headed to Killarney and started on the ring of Kerry which was 10km of constant ascent. I surprised myself with how well I copied. Though counting the coach tours distracted my mind from my tired legs. The descent was wicked, 10km all downhill to Kenmare. Had a bit of a nightmare finding the campsite meaning we added an extra 13km to the distance. Pasta for tea and just one day left.

From our pool on the Amalfi coast, we are both so impressed with you both, amazing what you have achieved to-date. Good luck for tomorrow, break a spoke as they say in the cycling world!!
