Killarney ➜ Tralee: 36 km, 16.7 km/hr, Time 2:10, Cal 1069, Hr. 119
Super easy ride at only 36 km. The weather kept me hopping like a "Cirque De Soleil" athlete as wardrobe changes were fast and frequent.
My original plan was to ride the Dingle Peninsula and stay there for the night. Unfortunately, I couldn't secure a home base, so I opted for Tralee. I have some relatives of more distant connection living somewhere here. My navigation skills are terrible and my introverted persona became the barrier to looking up these ancestors.
Anyway, I was not happy about this plan, but I thought that maybe I could get settled in Tralee and do a road trip to Dingle on a light Shirley. The Benners Hotel was not easy going with my bike. Had to take Shirley outside, around the corner, through the courtyard to a secure area that could only be opened by someone else on the inside. This major pain in the ass ruined my road trip plan. I was really pissed about skipping Dingle and angry at the Hotel manager. My day got worse as the wi fi wasn't working and I needed to plan the next day. I found a nice coffee shop nearby with wi fi which was great but there were mothers and their screaming kids everywhere. I couldn't stand it and left. 👿 #K!!
There is a cell phone shop across the street from my "Hotel" called "Fone Dealz" For 20 Euros, he unlocked my phone so I could use the data plan from Voda Fone. This place was sketchy. It's obvious that the phones he was selling were stolen. A super sketchy guy came in while I was there and made me nervous. He was moving around erratically and mumbling. A couple times, he got the owner's attention by waving an I Phone in the air. The guy behind the counter tried to seem oblivious to the sketchy guy, but it was obvious as to what was going on. I learned later in my trip that these businesses are everywhere in Ireland.
I had no idea what to do for tomorrow, but I thought that beer and pizza might help in the planning. I needed to find a happy place as this day was terrible. No one to blame but myself for bad planning.
Cheers
Heading to Tralee.
