After going out to the Skelligs I had planned on spending the night in Cork. Luckily I found before my trip that only two buses leave out of Cahersiveen, one at 7:30a and the other all 11a. Seeing as my tour wouldn’t be over in time I canceled my hostel in Cork and instead booked a room at O’Sheas.
When I arrived Linda greeted me and helped me get the lay of the land. She showed me on a map a nearby castle, some beaches and two nearby forts. If you’re like me and don’t have a car, the walk isn’t too bad on a sunny day! I had two American sisters ask for directions and they ended up giving me a ride, so I can’t speak for sure about the whole walk. I went back to the fort with another solo traveler and we watched the sunset. It was truly spectacular.
I had a great sleep at O’Sheas and loved how close it is to everything. Since I had to leave prior to the start of breakfast Linda left out some fruit and bread for me to take. I did get to meet Pat on my way out and he was just as friendly as Linda. The walk to the bus station was less than 5 minutes away!
