Beautiful moonrise yesterday evening, first with a lovely orange glow and then the reflextion on the water about an hour later but I found without a tripod difficult to take. These are my poor attempts.
Travelled all of about 30 km to a place called Hook Head Point. Here a lighthouse shines it light day in day out and has done for 800years! The oldest working lighthouse in the World. To read about it

After a delightful morning and a quick bite to eat we headed all of 6 km to the so-called haunted house at Loftus Hall. We paid our 16 euro senior rates for a 45 minute tour. Of course a lot of what was offered was trying to scare us all but what I most loved about the place was the complete lack of any renovations and how delapidated every room was.

So we had a seance with a ouija board with supposedly scary strobe lighting and a card game played by hand picked 'landed gentry'. Ian and me were just plain peasants! But it was all good fun and very atmosperic. A look around the gardens and we back tracked to Hook Head where wild camping was on offer. We are parked right by the shore so hopefully the sunset tonight will be spectacular.
