• Portmagee & Skellig Islands Experience

    May 20, 2024 in Ireland ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C

    We always have to do a boat trip, so we opted for the two islands, Little Skellig and Skellig Michael. Skellig Michael was made famous due to its appearance in Star Wars ( I've never seen it myself, not my cup of tea). It also has an ancient monastery where some monks were sent there as punishment, whilst others chose to live there. Little Skellig is closed to the public, but home huge colony of birds (about 30 000) of gannets and puffins.
    We thought it was time for a bit of a break and headed off to Inch Strand Campsite for TWO nights. Paul said it was a good site with lots of amenities, the first one I hadn't checked out before booking (big mistake🫣). We pulled into a field. The mens showers were outside, so I wasn't too fussed about that 😅. The shower was 1 euro for 3 minutes, which took 90 seconds to warm up, leaving the remaining 90 seconds for the quickest wash ever 🚿🧼. On a positive note, Kitty's food shack was a stones throw away and served the most delicious vegan burger 🍔 (I wasn't watching Paul eat for once!). The sun was shining, so we got the chairs and table out for the first time on the trip and a couple of drinkies 🍻. I even set the TV and managed to get reception, so I started watching Kin 👌. Ironically set in Dublin, Ireland 🇮🇪
