Bicycle Touring Ireland: Salthill to Ballina

Life after sepsis and back to bicycle touring, my latest update: cycling in Ireland, Salthill to Ballina. 76 Miles. Well, I was glad to finish again tonight! It’s not been a particularly hard ride: it was more that I was tired!

After managing to set up the tent in between showers yesterday and also get supper out of the way, I settled down for the evening. The campsite had good Wi-Fi, so I decided to listen to the radio via my phone.

I didn’t get to hear too much as it started to rain, and of course it always sounds worse in a tent (doesn’t it Julie!!) Well, after giving up on the radio, I tried to go to sleep, but couldn’t; it was just too noisy!

I know I was awake at midnight, and it was still raining because I looked at the time, and I know it had stopped at 5am because I was up! How long it went on for in between, who knows!
