Sam Kidd's thoughts on business

As we got up for day 2 on Cape we realised that the weather was going to be shite all day.  Still at least it wasn't cold.  We had a nice breakfast and headed down to catch up with the other two. The walk down the hill was certainly alot easier in the day and going down hill that it was coming home in the pitch dark the night before.  We walked down past South Harbour and stopped to have a look.  Not quite swimming weather so we carried on.

 

We met up with Gill and Aileen down at the shop/pub and grabbed a bite to eat. The guy running the shop was really sound and even gave us the keys to the pub over the shop so we could hang out up there. In fairness he looked out for us all day bringing us drinks and food and even putting our wine on ice. He must have hated us by the end of the day. But in fairness he managed to get most of our money out of throughout the day.

We got the bus tour of Cape around lunch time.  It was a great lazy way to see the whole island. The tour took about an hour as we travelled the roads in second gear.  There are some savage hills on this little island and walking it would certainly be a good work out.  But I will never know. (I'm a lazy shite)

 Once we got back to the Pub/shop we were wrecked .So we thought it was time for more food and drink.  Had a lovely steak there for dinner. MMMM hungry now thinking about it. Of course when our dinner arrived up guess who turned up.  That little fecker Pearse.  I couldn't believe it. He bitched and screamed and ran around while his parents yelled at him to sit,stay,stop and loads of other commands that the little devil ignored, generally he was just a pain in the ass.

After dinner we headed back to Danny Mikes. There we continued our card games of which I never one a round. We also found an old trivia pursuit questions book. Emma was the quizmaster and asked questions throughout the night. I ruled in the Cartoon section, comic section and at least in the respectable section of geography.

We had a laugh all night and we were joined by a guy working on the island for ESB called Seamus. He sucked at cards ended up hold most of the pack. Was bloody funny. Don't think he really got the rules of our game. He moved on to pool, which was his game. Seamus and myself took Team Aileen, Which was Aileen and another guy we met Tadgh, who was a laugh. Anyhow I sucked at pool and just did enough to piss them off while Seamus actually potted the balls.

All in all it was a good night and we headed back to the B&B about 3ish. As we walked back in the pitch dark we could hear a group of girls up ahead of us laughing and trying to scare each other.  As we approached them in the dark from behind they shit themselves. They jumped and screamed so much they actually gave us a fright.  They were completely embarrassed, it was bloody funny.

We woke late to similar weather and made our way down to get the boat back to Baltimore at 12.  Of course that little fecker was on the boat as well. All in all in was a great few days away and I would recommend a trip to Cape to anyone for sure.
