Eire= Ireland journey            

Sunday April 21, 2019  Easter Sunday       



Crossed over the iconic bridge at Mizen Head... Mizen Head lighthouse.



Mizen Head... Mizen Head lighthouse... on this peninsula is the Southernmost point of Ireland.

Fastenall is a lighthouse on an island. Mizen Head is still on mainland terrafirma. 







So, this southernmost point of Ireland has been navigated by mariners.... The Vikings, Norsemen, The Goths, and god knows whoever sailed a ship/ boat around south Ireland weather to rob and plunder, capture for prize, or trade. 

This is exciting to see this. 







There are hardly any tourists here... which is good!

Marconi radio room.
Historically, this Mizen Head lighthouse radio station was a vital, integral communication point to monitor the sea lane traffic between  Ireland and Iceland during WWII.  The wind 20 to 40+, cold damp coming off to the North Atlantic ocean, Viz 1/4 mile at best... You almost sense the Nazi submarine wolfpack waiting in lay out off of this point.


After a lifetime of journey,.... I made it here!!!


This is one of the best days on this life journey. Thank you lord. I did not waste this day!

You never drink twice from the same stream. 

Just because you wander doesn't mean you're lost.
