#Beara. You must seek out this spot and visit #helensbar between #lauragh and #kenmare. This “village” #kilmakilloge , consists of a pier, and Helen’s Bar/restaurant/accommodation and a huge carpark!!!! But this is heaven on earth. Fantastic seafood. #speirghorm. #ireland

Stopped in #Rathcormac #Cork. The motorway bypasses this village now. Found this lovely cafe/post office. I had a great conversation with the owner and I will be back again! I love discovering these places off the main road.
