Day 216
Nana and Papa Arrive
April 12 in Ireland ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C
It had been 8.5 months since we last saw Nana and Papa Moke. They arrived just a little too late to catch Cole’s team win their semifinal rugby match, but when they got here, everyone was thrilled and excited to see them!

Knowing they’d be tired after a day of travel, we kept the first two days fairly relaxed.

On Saturday, we did the Hudson and Doreen walk to take in the views overlooking the Glencar area. Then we headed back to the house for some games.

On Sunday, we did a bit of sightseeing — a walk through Benbulben Forest, Mullaghmore loop drive, a tour of Manorhamilton, and then wrapped up the day with a big Easter dinner.Read more
Traveler It was fabulous to see everyone and the scenery and tours were amazing. Every day something new in our Ireland Mokedanz adventure.

Day 207
Union Wood to Lough Lumman
April 3 in Ireland ⋅ ☀️ 9 °C
Another Day, Another Trail

After yesterday’s hike, we decided to take it a little easier today. We explored a portion of the Sligo Way, walking from Union Wood to Lough Lumman and back. The trail was a scenic 11.64 km through hills and valleys. It was a beautiful sunny day, and the warmth of the sun felt wonderful as we walked.Read more

Day 206
Moodoge - Truksmore
April 2 in Ireland ⋅ ☀️ 11 °C
With both Simon's and my classes finished for the semester, we decided to take advantage of the free time and go for a hike while the kids are at school. Today, we tackled Moodoge-Truksmore. It was a challenging 4.5 km hike straight up the mountain, complete with switchbacks and a 500-meter elevation gain. ( going down is not as bad) There was no flat terrain at all, but the view from the top was definitely worth it! We were surprised to discover that we can actually see the top of the mountain from the bottom of our driveway.Read more

Day 202
Luke’s Birthday
March 29 in Ireland ⋅ ☁️ 6 °C
Today, we celebrated Luke's birthday! He was a little sad that we had to go to Jacob’s rugby game in the morning, but before we left, we set up a scavenger hunt for him to find his gifts. He was absolutely ecstatic and so happy to take part in it.

While we were at Jacob’s rugby game, Luke spent the morning baking with Addy. They made cookies and a lot more while enjoying some quality time together.

Later, Luke played with Connor, got plenty of snuggles, and then we went out for dinner. Afterward, we headed home for a cozy movie night.

My baby is 9!Read more

Rosse Beach
November 10, 2024 in Ireland ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C
This morning, Tam and Rick left to continue their travels in Northern Ireland. We had a late night last night and were all tired, but we didn’t want to waste the beautiful weather today. We decided to check out Rosse Beach, and what a great decision that was! This beach is amazing, and I can see us spending many more trips here, walking and playing on the shore. The kids even went into the ocean!Read more

Day 23
Doneens and Hudson walk
October 1, 2024 in Ireland ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C
Our weekly Tuesday hike took us to a place close to home but offered different views, and this hike did not disappoint. It featured 320 meters of elevation, leading us through the woods to an open field that climbed the hills and provided an outstanding view. The hike was 6.5 kilometers long. We often see these hills from our place, and it was nice to experience the view from the top. This is a walk we will bring visitors to see as well. End with watching the sunset by the waterRead more

Day 9
The Devil Chimney
September 17, 2024 in Ireland ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
We decided when we all got done school we would go for a hike. We looked around at ones around us and decided to check this one out. It was intriguing because we saw this waterfall on the drive home from a rugby Saturday morning and it was going upwards

The Irish name for this fall is Sruth in Aghaidh An Aird - means stream against the height and denotes the fact that during certain weather conditions when the wind blows from the west the waterfall is blown upwards and back over the cliff from which it falls

This hike was definitely steep, Deanna had already done a lower body work out with Addy and a 11 k hike the day before so she was sore but she was a good sport.

The kids at the beginning did not want to go, once we made it to the top, we were all happy we went the view was amazing

2.59 km HikeRead more

Day 598
Waschtag... 🤷🏼‍♀️🙄
June 5, 2024 in Ireland ⋅ 🌬 12 °C
Heute verbrachten weine ruhige Nacht inmitten der Natur und Schafen. Weiter Richtung Norden geht die Reise.
Da sich unsere Wäschetüte bis zum Anschlag gefüllt hat, müssen wir einen Waschtag einlegen. Angekommen an der Laundrette Revolution gleich mal die Tonne füllen. Und, eigenes Waschmittel obendrauf gegossen. Ich hoffe, das passt so, denn Waschmittel ist da auch inkludiert. Nur bei der letzten Wäsche roch es kein bißchen nach Waschmittel 🙄 und ich liebe einfach den Geruch von frischer Wäsche (dennoch war sie sauber). Noch kommen keine Seifenblasen aus der Maschine 😏....
Inzwischen haben wir wieder einmal das Gefühl von Hektik, uns läuft mal wieder die Zeit davon und wir bewegen uns "Dead slow" voran 🤷🏼‍♀️. Na, bis Dienstag ist ja noch ein wenig Zeit das ist unser Motto. Jedoch gibt es hier noch soviel zu sehen. 😬Read more

Sommersprosse Geht es Euch such Do, dass Waschsalons richtig spannend sind Eigentlich funktionieren alle gleich, aber das Waschpulver stellt die Herausforderung dar.

Day 153
Agharrow
June 3, 2024 in Ireland ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
Voilà le 154ème jour de pédalage qui s'achève.

Nous avons passé 3 nuits dans la petite ville de Donegal où nous avons profité des pubs et resto mais aussi d'une petite croisière dans la baie.

On s'est donc élancé aujourd'hui sous un temps très maussade mais qui s'est bien éclairé dans l'après-midi.
Nous avons quitté le comté de Donegal pour celui de Sligo. Il paraît que finalement, c'est ici le meilleur coin de l'Irlande ahah on dirait qu'ils sont bien chauvins ici aussi.

Grosse surprise de la journée : premier refus bien sec d'un Irlandais de nous accueillir dans son jardin 😱
Finalement on a suivi des conseils et on a opté pour un emplacement au bord de l'eau... Mais un peu trop dans le vent.

La nuit risque d'être bien agitée !Read more

Day 13
On the beach
May 11, 2024 in Ireland ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
Es ist gestern spät geworden, die Polarlichter haben uns wachgehalten.
Auf der Weiterfahrt treffen wir noch ein paar Mal unsere holländischen Nachbarn vom Pub, zuletzt beim Lidlshopping. Einfach nette Leute mit viel Humor.
Genau, unsere Voräte sind aufgebraucht und Mr. Lidl verdient gut an uns. Wir wagen uns sogar an Black and White Pudding. Schauen wir mal, wie das schmeckt.
Zum ersten Mal haben wir einen Camping im Voraus gebucht, wir wollen etwas zur Ruhe kommen, ausserdem mal Waschen usw. Und die Buchung war nicht unberechtigt. Der kleine Strandort in der Nähe von Sligo platzt aus allen Nähten. Schönes Wetter, Wochenende, halb Irland ist on the beach. Das ganze ist dabei auch etwas schräg und schrill. Sehen und gesehen werden. Klasse!
Die Fish und Chips heben wir uns für Montagabend in the Strand Bar auf. Auch gebucht, sicher ist sicher. Pizza 🍕 ist nämlich durch. Morgen wollen wir uns Sligo und besonders die Abtei dort anschauen.Read more

Traveler Tolle Sache das gestern mit den Polarlichtern. Zum Thema Fish & Chips: manchmal muss man die Chancen nutzen wenn sie sich biten und nicht warten. Nicht das da was zwischenkommt.....
