Four days of hiking are now over. I hiked approximately 85 kilometers. Experienced hikers would say it's not much. But for me, it was my first tour of this kind and I'm happy that I did it. It was a great experience. The weather was also great. In the four days, I only got caught in the rain twice. For Irish standards, that's top. It's a shame Mirko couldn't join. I'm sure he would have liked it. But my journey is not over yet. Tomorrow, I will go to Cork, the second largest city in Ireland, for two days. I'm curious to see what awaits me there.
