Longest day near Shannon

We are off to Tralee via the spectacular narrow Connor Pass where we encountered a convoy of big Italian motorhomes who did not seem to have noticed the 6ft width restriction. We stopped at a tiny fishing harbour and saw them landing boxes of crabs.
We stayed overnight on the sandy shore of the Shannon actually on the edge of the estuary.  A number of race horses appeared to exercise in the sea water, its good for their hooves apparently and did not leave until after sunset. A black Labrador appeared from somewhere and lay down, on guard, outside the van.  There was spectacular deep red sunset, under a back of cloud and it rained all night. We have just clocked up 1000 miles. Memorable day.
