Today‘s ride took me through some impressive country side to some more island hotspots. First I stopped by at Robert‘s Cove Beach before heading on to Kinsale. The two places could not be more different in many aspects.

We took the early bus from Crosshaven into Cork. Double decker, for sure. Cork apparently got the best market hall all over Ireland and the UK. After some initial glance, we toured around the city to see some nice parks bridges and buildings.
We enjoyed some light bites over a heavy pint in one of the many pubs before getting back to the market hall, which has become busy by now. Some shopping and back to the bus. Overall a busy and buzzling city, definitely worth to pay a visit.
The evening hours allowed for a short sniff tour on the bike to explore the vicinity of Crosshaven.
My first bike ride on Ireland took me on Bike Route #1 not only through some nice country site but also to Lidl. After my rucksack got filled with some goodies, I followed the track back along River Lee towards the RCYC.

On my way towards Lagoa de Santiago I had to pass the viewpoint over Sete Cidades. I think, this remains my preferred spot on Sao Miguel from what I was allowed to see up to date.
The weather was perfect, so was the view. Best on my 3rd trip up here today.
Heading on, Lagoa de Santiago might appears less spectacular but I would argue on that, as the lake itself has for sure a different character but the road surrounding it keeps my mind blowing. More photos under the link below.
Another ride in paradise. 🙏
