Hello from Nohoval Cove, Ireland! 🇮🇪😺🏝️
Beware coming here wearing motoboots. See the 3rd picture with the slippery mossy bank? Yeah, your girl almost ate ship 3 times walking down that and in order to get to the wider view of the cove, you have to hop the little stream. I almost left because I didn’t want to slip, fall and get wet.
As I was turning to leave, I stopped and asked myself: Who do I think I am? This is so unlike me to avoid risk to possibly be swept out to the Atlantic Ocean in all my gear. So I turned around, pulled up my big girl pants and hopped the small stream. Whew! Those lunges muscles were clenching. But here we are.
We faced our fears and did it.

Here we go
Terrific time on these electric bikes from Wild Atlantic Wheels last year. We rode the whole circuit of Lough Gill, stopped for a lovely Guinness in Dromahaire too. Walking like John Wayne the following day, but worth it. . . . #visitireland #wanderireland #ireland_gram #instaireland #insta_ireland #Irishpassion #Discoverireland #igersireland #loves_ireland #icu_ireland #irelandinspires #Thisisireland #eire #ireland #travelireland #ig_ireland #loveireland #tourismireland #irelandshiddenheartlands #adventure #nature #slowadventureireland #slowadventure #slowtourism (at Drumcliff, Sligo, Ireland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0lk0G8hwQh/?igshid=ghqha6s203f3
