UP! UP! AND A STAY!!!!!

for a first day of travelling we didn't do too much. all packed up we walked to the train station and got a train to laytown where zee's sister collected her bike. now we are in the house for two days minding little baby David. Zee is all 'oh isn't he lovely!!!'. like i am not... mutter mutter cute and adorable mutter mutter mutter.....

the order of the day is cuteness and as such we must have requisite documents of cute!!! this is a family of cats that have recently been sitting outside the back porch of darels place!! they were feeding on their mum when zee spotted them and we snapped this. the mum was so tired looking but she's pretty cool looking, it looks like she has been on some navy seals mission or something with the stripes worked into her face as camoflage. mum-cat the commando of feeding time!
the first cycle went pretty well. only a warm up and getting used to the bikes with the panniers on.
it was only about half an hours cycle from laytown to bettystown and it went very smoothly. just have to remember to keep a lookout for potholes and things like that.
