After several miles along narrow roads, past caravan parks and another beach, we reached Camp and opted to wait for the bus back to Tralee. Mass got out just before the bus arrived.

Snapshot of day 9: Ireland's longest beach
Headed out a bit later than normal along small roads before cutting down to the longest beach in Ireland along Brandon Bay - some 11 kilometers in all. We cut back to roads near Stradbally Strand and along tarmac into Castlegregory.

Snapshot of day 8: over a mountain
Had both bags transferred today and that was a blessing. There was no break in the sunshine as we climbed the 650 meters over the shoulder of Mount Brandon, though the descent offered some much welcomed breeze off the ocean. A less demanding walk, all things considered, than projected but not anything we'd have wanted to do with much weight. Now enjoying lagers in Cloghane.
Snapshot of day 5: Smerwick Harbor
Spent most of the day walking along Smerwick Harbor, beach and cliffside. It was much sunnier than previous days - heard even more about the uncharacteristic nature of the weather. Stopped for a pub lunch in Ballydavid and had to wait for the kitchen next door to open. Found our B&B with the help of the loudest (lowing) cow we've encountered on the trip. Great big caramel colored girl who really had some things to share with the neighborhood.
