While with Mary we realized we couldn't do all of Europe in one trip so settled on doing the northern parts and slowing down a bit. So we put the SW of Ireland back till the end of this trip but had to go down to Bundoran at least, to visit my old friends Michael and Maria and introduce Liz to them. Hoped to get a wave in the capital of Irish surfing but it was only 18 ins Had a lovely evening with them and stayed the night in their gorgeous home beside a salmon fishery and in front of some of the best reef breaks in the area. The next morning it was showing signs of a rise in the swell but we had to get going to check out a place where Michael said we could leave our Van over the winter and then after lunch we headed north again and visited the factory of Belleck Pottery before overnighting in a great lookout over Louch Swilly from the eastern side . Heading into Derry in the morning
