It’s a beautiful town. Great nooks and crannies with hidden treasure!

Beautiful. My daughter threw a bottle in the ocean at Shoal Bay, Newfoundland a few years back and it was found in this area a year later by a family with the surname of Mullins.

Hello

[@TheEileenMGoode]

Wonderful! Thanks

[@jimhayes1432]

I remember visiting Skibbereen some years ago. The ocean must be very close by because I know we visited there also.

[@user-nk2ni8ue5m]

The ocean is 4 miles away at a place called Tragumna. I spent many happy evenings at Tragumna beach.

I've been to Skibbereen back in 2000. We stayed in a youth hostel a bit out of town which used to be a mill, I think. I wonder if it's still there and in use...

[@tomvaughan1979]

Yes, it's still there and running.

[@blackenedwritings]

Thanks.

[@blackenedwritings]

By the way: Do you know the name of that hostel?
