As I glance down at my phone I see that date says 1st May, the time is a little after mid-night and I realise that I have started day 11 of my Wild Atlantic Way adventure in a KFC in Dublin, now it doesn't get much classier than that ! So how did that come to pass, well after yesterdays fantastic flight up from Donegal, I wrote day 10 of the blog and then headed out for a "couple" of early doors beers in Dublin. Within minutes of sitting at the bar, I'm chatting to 2 hairdressers (one looked the spitting image of Jennifer Aniston), who have been on a pretty dreary training course all day, so by now they are well up for a drink and a giggle....not sure where the next 6 hours went, we didn't move from the same spot at the bar, but it flew by and the craic was mighty as they say over here...... As the discussion got round to "Shall we have one more for the ditch", for the 3rd time, I realised I'd not eaten since breakfast and so I wished them "good luck" and headed off in the search of fast food, the Colonel came up trumps !
The weather today in Ireland is pretty miserable, my day has been spent just getting back to Donegal from Dublin and then down to Ardara were I will pick up the WAW where I left it a couple of days ago.
From yesterdays pictures you can see how amazing it is to take off and land at Donegal, I shot a video on the iPhone coming in, you can see how much the weather has changed over the past 24 hours. I have tried to upload to the blog, but it says file to big, so have posted it on Twitter, you can watch at https://twitter.com/jimiwoz just click on the link, you don't need a twitter account.
So a short blog today, will be much more content tomorrow when I get back behind the wheel and back on the Wild Atlantic Way.
