Easter surf trip

We are staying in Fahamore, near Castlegregory, in Maherees, Co. Kerry. It's so beatiful!!! There are several peninsula-like points, and you can drive along, with water nearby on both sides. Dry long grass on the side of the road... so cool! :)

The drive down here was very nice. Mostly sunny, and beautiful views. Hardly any traffic because we left before 2pm. I got a lift from Marcus, and I really enjoyed it.

Checking the surf at Dumps
When we were in the vicinity, we went straight to look for surf because sundown was approaching. We surfed nearby, surrounded by snowy mountains and moving dark clouds, and we caught nicely peeling waist-to-chest high waves under a gorgeous sunset.

It was dark when we finished changing and we took off at 9:15, starving! We went back to meet with the rest and found our houses. Dropped stuff off and headed to the pub. More and more people joined us at the pub, as they were arriving from their cities at different times. Since it was the night before Good Friday and it is forbidden to sell alcohol in Ireland on Good Friday, the pub closed at midnight (last drinks call at 11:30), so we continued chit-chatting at Marcus, Florian and Paul's place.
