Sunday 18th

We had hope to go to the Famine Museum and ancestry centre in Skib but it was closed on Sundays and we felt that there was not enough to do around the town to warrant waiting until Monday morning. It was campers on the move again onto Schull where there was a little street market and the harbour but nowhere suitable to swim all pleasant enough until it started to rain.  Onwards and upwards to Kenmare and on the way we found Molly Gallivans cottage and traditional farm.  This was certainly a tourist attraction, and the shop was full of overpriced woollen goods and tourist tat. It was worth stopping and we did the farm walk and had it to ourselves with panoramic views and friendly animals.  Then we drove on through Kenmare and found a camp site on the south side of the river called Bearea Camping run by an elderly Dutch Couple, he was 80 and had developed the site over the last 30 years doing most of the construction himself.  Very rural and quiet with only one other touring camper on site.  Another black pudding supper and a pleasant evening in the local pub a mile along the road.
