What a fantastic day. Climbed to the peak of Monte Circeo, spectacular views as far as the eye can see in every direction.

Image

Monte Circeo, love this walk.

Cat in cupboard. Move along now, nothing to see here.

Rough crossing to Skellig Michael this morning. I was standing horizontally, but the swells were pretty big.

Skellig Michael steps. Some people went down on their bum.

Skellig Micheal. A Christian monastery was founded on the island at some point between the 6th and 8th century and remained continuously occupied until it was abandoned in the late 12th century. The remains of the monastery, and most of the island, became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996. Probably the last day it can be visited this year.

Clogher Head, Dingle. One of the locations used in Home and Away, a fantastic spot. Met a great old guy taking photos of the waves crashing onto the rocks; "Shame there's no money in them, but I just love taking them".
