Rain was our constant companion again for most of the day. We went to the beautiful valley of Gougane Barra where the Irish planted an artificial forest in the 60s full of Sitka spruce. Although the setting looked made up with its winding gravel paths it was nevertheless a very scenic walk. Like walking through a forest out of a fairy tale: You know it's not real but still it's very enjoyable. Lots of moss and a small river and even more green than yesterday.
When we were properly soaked we set off to a small chapel just a couple of minutes away. That's when the weather god tried something new and threw sun rays at us. Yay, good job man! We cherished each one of them as we strolled around the chapel grounds.
Almost dry we drove to the seaside town/village of Bantry. Beautiful spot with colourful houses and some nice shops. Got myself some postcards and had a pint at a local pub.

Just sitting at the huge windows of our house right now watching the sun go down and listening to Joni Mitchell chiming out of our cook's stereo. Could life be any better?
