Hi guys...and ladies, well, we had our little visit together, alone in a self-catering place almost on the beach. I found this little place online and it was just right; it's in Easkey, County Sligo, Ireland. This is only about 45 minutes from my own house, but my house is in town, Ballina.
It was a small one-bedroom unit over a garage and appeared to be brand new; we may have been the first tenants, so everything was new and fresh...including the weather!!! Fresh, breezy, and a little wet!! The first problem was that the Wi-Fi didn't work!!! Disaster, I thought!!! She will be pissed!! That turned out to be not really a big problem at all. We spent a lot of time driving and sightseeing anyway, so the Wi-Fi wasn't really a deal breaker. I used my phone as a hotspot when necessary, so it was OK in the end.
Easkey is a world-famous surfing spot, and people come from all over the world to surf here. However, the waves were not cooperating on many of the days. I have to say that surfing is a bone-chilling experience in this North Atlantic water...very cold but pristine water.
We drove along the coast several days, and I got to show her the ancient abbeys and the Round Tower in the village of Killala, which has been around for about 1,000 years (dates vary a little). The local monks would climb up into the solid stone Round Tower and pull up the ladder when the Vikings came to raid their monastery, which is on the banks of the River Moy...perfect for raiding!!
It was really nice to have the five days together...just us and no other distractions except for the "lovely" Irish weather...cloudy but warm and actually not too much rain. We had really heavy rain just one day only, and even on that day, we drove to the sea cliffs. The Cliffs of Ceide are near the Moy Estuary and are in County Mayo. The countryside in this part of Mayo and Sligo is almost empty of houses and people...just cows, grass, and the multi-colored, spray-painted sheep out on the hillsides. Each farmer spray paints his sheep with his own code for ID purposes, and they make a colorful sight up in the hills/mountains.
I'll post some pics later.
OK...what you were all wondering...Sex??? What happened??
I remain a gentleman, but I can make certain disclosures without giving up too much info...lol. Given the fact that both of us have ileostomies and we stayed in a self-catering unit rather than the B&B part of the property, we were way better off. Our bathroom was our own, so we didn't bother anyone with the noise of flushing every time we got up to empty or to pee...no creaky floorboards, etc. It was really nice to have that privacy.
I brought two big bath towels just to put under the bedsheets...just in case (I insisted, and she agreed). One watery leak in the bed would really ruin the whole trip, so I didn't want to take any chances. We both taped our bags, around all four sides of the wafer and over the Velcro at the opening. With these precautions, we could fool around at will without any worries. Yes indeed, we had some wonderful, crazy naked sex...ostomy bags clashing (empty first...always!!)...getting sticky and sweaty in the warm, muggy Irish summer...sort of a summer!!? lol. It was actually very warm and muggy at night...or maybe that was just us; we generated lots of heat and sweat...I'm sure you will be happy to know...lol. We had no leaks, no real accidents with our baggies, and the bed was spared...as was my credit card!! A new mattress is expensive!!!
We heard and saw some of the very best Irish traditional music I ever experienced at the local pub in Easkey, McDonnells I believe...only one night a week on Wed in August. We had a beautiful solo performance on a genuine Irish harp.
Anyway, just wanted to let you guys know how things went and how our "Bag Experience" was...given that we actually got some intimate activities in and took full advantage of our privacy.
Back later with some pics...of the coastline!! lol Mr Magoo XO
