Ireland - North Beach, Rush

Yesterday we picked up the motorhome / camper van and drove a short distance to a place north of Dublin on the coast.  The first part of the journey was on the motorway which is a freeway, but as we got closer to the campground the roads got very narrow and driving on the wrong side of the road is quite an experience.

We spent the afternoon hanging around the campsite, taking pictures and trying to get internet connections going.  We got things straighten out about 11:30 pm.

We met a couple from Germany who had an Entlebucher Mountain Dog and we spent some time talking with them.

Here are some pictures from the campsite.  The first 4 are the view from right in front of the motorhome, looking west toward England.  If you have panorama software you can piece them together to get the complete picture.  This reminds me of the place my family used to stay at Qualicum Beach when I was growing up.




This is our motorhome.  You can see the Entlebucher Mountain Dog by the other camper.


Here are the campers lined up on the bank above the beach.  We are the third camper from the left.


We got some sad news late yesterday, our dog Kody passed away.  Thanks to our friend Don who has been looking after him while we have been away.
