The tour went through all 32 countys on the Island. There are 26 countys in the Republic of Ireland and 6 countys in the U. K. I started in Limerick and went to Dingle. I went south to the south coast and then east along the south coast through Cork. I zigzagged along the south coast and up the east coast. I went around Dublin, and through Belfast. I followed the east coast and then the north coast and went through Londonderry. I zigzagged south along the west coast and crossed my own path just after I took the ferry across the Shannon river. I then did a loop through Tipperary and the center of the island and back to Limerick. The tour was 26 days an 1720 miles.
I stopped at some castles and museums. I went into Marble Cave. I tried to go to Blarney Castle, but I was trampled by 2 bus loads of American geezers and barely got out alive. I went through Belfast on the "Glorious 12th" (of July). There were many parades and marches and drunken partying in the street. There are bicycles everywhere. People use them to get around. Question: How can you tell when an Irish Bicycle is coming? Answer: You hear squeek-clank squeek-clank, unless it's going down hill when you hear squee-squee-squee. A mineral is a drink, not a rock. A large is 8 oz. Cattle farming is big and all the cattle have to go down the road to get to the barn. So the roads get covered with cow manure and flies. I left my luggage and bicycle box with the hotel in Limerick to keep until I got back. But they threw them away. They found me a satchel and I found a bicycle box at the airport and made it home.
