SPLAT

When it rains in the Republic of Ireland, it BUCKETS down, monsoonal rains in India have nothing on the Republic.

 

Despite this rain, Mr. Killen decided that a trip to Kinsale was in order which was a looooong way from the Hotel and he has an uncanny knack of finding the longest route possible.

 

So, as you can image, photo opportunities were virtually non existent until we came across Harbour View Beach.

 

Despite the howling wind and lashing rain there were a dozen people out on the bay para-sailing and they were having a blast as they were fairly whizzing across the waves.

 

I followed this particular chap as he seemed to like doing a little twirl as he came to our end and get airborne.

 

I don't think he had practised his landings though as inevitably he would fall off his board and land with a thump into the sea.

 

I was more concerned that he was going to impale himself on the remains of the jetty and one of us would have to rescue him.

 

Yes, I know, I have a very vivid imagination!

 

We did finally end up in Kinsale and didn't even bother getting out of the car because of the rain.

 

Oh well there is always next time.
