As we turned inland we found a lovely quiet road leading to a beautiful lake. At the far end we found the stream which runs into it and it was a lovely spot for a paddle and a spot of rest and relaxation. The water was crystal clear and not as cold as you might think, considering it had come down from the mountains.
As we came into the village of Lauragh we found a wonderful 'feature' outside the local bar. It looked like a petrol pump, but it purported to dispense Murphys rather than fuel. It seemed too good to be true, so we went for a closer inspection. Can you see us?
Unfortunately the nozzle at the end of the hose was locked down so sadly there were no free samples. We weren't too upset though as we do prefer Guinness to Murphy's. And, before long, we weren't upset at all, when we returned to a quiet coast road and found a perfectly located bar at the Kilmakilloge Harbour. We passed it twice, the first time we pedalled past without stopping, but on the return journey ... well, it would have been impolite not to stop would it not?
As you can see it was a Guinness with a view and it didn't stay in the glass long, but there again, cycling is hard and thirsty work.
Lots of love, Patrick and the Guinness drinkers xxx

I thought for a moment you said "I didn't stay in the glass for long" - I know you like Guinness but submersing yourself in it is another thing!
