Description
This picture is on the downhill side of a large mountain that we had spent all morning hiking up to get to the top. The top was a peat marsh, and gators were required to keep our legs somewhat clean as we clambered through the thick muck, one step at a time. Once out of the peat, and going down, our guide said our bus would be waiting for us down by the lake, and to just "keep on truckin'. I don't remember how far it was, but there was gorgeous scenery to behold between here and there. I have more pictures. :-)
My wife & I, along with her sister, took a week long vacation to Dingle Island, Ireland. This wasn't our ordinary trip, in that it was a " 2 boot walking tour." 2 boots is a way to describe the difficulty of the hiking. (2 boots is harder than 1 boot, but not as hard as 3 boots.) We hiked all over Dingle Island with day packs, and the tour guides would shuffle our luggage each day to a new B&B further down the trail. We dined sumptuously each night in a local restaurant, and there is more than one bar in Ireland to quench your thirst. Each successive day of the 5 day trip got a bit more difficult, as we walked further each day, and had a higher elevation gain each day as well. By day 5, several of our group had fallen out. It was a lovely country, filled with lovely people, and we'd love to return.
