DAY 13: Clonakity to Skibberdeen

Leaving Clonakilty Hotel a little later than I expected.

Having seen my fill of standing stones, I headed for the coast.  I've been looking forward to
 seeing this this part of Ireland.

On the R598 at Long Strand, Cork.

Heading west, looking down on Owenahincha, Cork.

Crois Farriage, Cork.

Around nearly every bend is a beautiful bay.  This is Creggane, Cork, looking inland.

Creggane now looking seaward.

Downeen, Cork, looking seaward.

Downeen.

Downeen now looking inland.

Yet another tiny inlet, this time Myross.

Myross, Cork, looking south.

Now we're getting into skellig territory.  Toe Head, Cork.

Yet another tiny bay, this time at Ardgehane, Cork.

Reendacussane, Cork.

Unbelievably beautiful.

Dromadoon, Cork.

Loch Hyne.

I love this land.  Glannafeen, Cork.

Mariner's Cove, Cork.

As much as the beauty of the land can capture me, it surprises like seeing two mattresses tied
to the top of a tiny green car on the R595 at South Rath, Cork, that I find just as rewarding.

Heading over a bridge to one of the many, many islands in the area.  Couldn't find a name for this one.

South and seaward from the bridge.

East Donegal on the island, Cork.

The Skelligs, Middle Donegal, Cork.

The bridge to Inishbeg island, Cork.

Just happened across a small roadside graveyard...

...which turned out to be quite important.

The Corner Bar in downtown Skibberdeen.

The West Cork Hotel in Skibbereen.

Situated on the picturesque banks of the River Ilen.
