Mullaghmore Beach and Marble Arch Caves, Sligo and Fermanagh, Ireland - 19th August 2019

We head out to another beach, this time at Mullaghmore. Although the weather's variable, with a mixture of lashing, sun and some "soft day, thank God" kind of stuff, the beach itself is fantastically wide and empty, and even has horses galloping on it - just like an advert for a bank or something. The next day, we drive back over the invisble border into Fermanagh to do something which is becoming something of a holiday tradition: visiting a cave, which this time is the Marble Arch Caves near Florencourt. At the end of the day, Haryana hosts a Brazillian barbeque.
