--------






We continued sailing till 3pm and lunch was pasta with cheese.



HAHAHA Green watch doing a silly dance. HAHA


We spent our day 3 at Dingle Bay, and had our first and ONLY SHOWER for the entire voyage!!!!

BTW, Vani's shoe fell into the sea while she was crossing the barricades to get on shore! Piao piao was there I swear, to cause such a misfortune on poor Vani. HAHAHA. (The series of unfortunate events did not stop... read on...)

Revitalised and energised, we went to have our marvelous Hot chocolate at some Icecream stall before we went back on boat for dinner (BEEF STEW! YUMMMM)

The group of us went to watch Star Trek at a local cinema and it costed Vani 7 Euros each person! :(

We went back to sleep after our show.


Day 4 started off pretty good. Fully energised, we decided to help out with breakfast. (Red's team)

While the other's were making breakfast, Vani, Larry and Emerson were helping to set up the table. (Convertable tables). A few seats, resting on aluminium poles secured to the floor board needed to be moved and Larry decided to yank out the pole from the slot with all his might. The next thing we heard was "Oh my god" from Larry and we realised he had broken his front tooth. Half of it HAHA.

HELLO, I SWEAR PIAO PIAO WAS THERE ON THE BOAT WITH US, SO SCARY AH, EVERYONE HAD TO ENCOUNTER SOMETHING BAD EVERYDAY, HAHAHA.

Larry remained quite cool throughout the whole saga, you must admire him.

Alex suggested putting half the tooth in a little milk (Myth or fact?) and Emerson called the local dentist and made and appointment to see him at 9am.

After about 1 hour of queuing and 30 minutes of treatment Larry regained his beauty as his tooth was finally fixed. Costed him 250 euros! Oh my. What a dear price to pay.

We set sail to Darrynane island and the landscape was BEAUTIFUL. Photo's cannot justify how heaven-like the scenery was. HAHA! Breathtaking.



Day 5 was docked at Cape Clear Island and we Spotted dolphins and a whale! We we're all excited and hyped by their special appearance and Emerson dropped his straw hat in the sea. We managed to rescue the hat anyway. Haha. We docked near the island and did a recee of the place. As we stepped out of the dingy, we saw loads of jelly fish, they floated not alone but in clusters, which was VERY VERY SCARY. HAHA.

Nuala, Eilis and Keith were brave enough was swim at the waters,




Day 6 was spent sailing to Kinsale (finally some modern civilisation), and we went to the nearest Supervalu (AGAIN) to grab some food.

Houses by the Marina were very beautiful and looks very posh. Nuala told us that a house by the Marina can cost as much as 1.75 million euros!!!!

We met at a cafe and Wyncy and Larry had their hot chocolate.




During the night, the crew decided to watch a movie (Nacho Libre) on Larry's mac and everyone was having a ball of time, munching on snacks and enjoying each other's company for the last time. :(






It was an enjoyable get-together.


Slept at 12 mindnight, and another day without shower. HAHA.
