A Scally Review - Day 3
18/10. Sunday morning. Finally some sleep! and day 3 starts nice and early with a new challenge. 28 different forms of transport to find and be photographed with - come on!. We manage to get 5 sorted before we've even got back to the hostel. We leave Westport for Tralee, another 380kms ahead of us and on the lookout for the other 23 modes of transport. We drive through some of the most amazing scenery this morning along some of the worst roads ever, pot holes, understeer and roadworks - nightmare. We stop off in Galway for an hour and get a few more challenges ticked off the list as we trawl the sports shops, shopping centre and toy shops. Big thanks to the Early Learning Centre!! Another quick Mcd's and we hit the road again with about 3hrs driving still ahead of us. Much more of the same roads in changing conditions and we just about make the Killimer ferry, we approach down the slip road blasting our horn and they have to undo the gates on the ferry to let us on. 10 other teams on board and 2 more challenge photo opportunities taken. Last trek into Tralee in the dark and its not easy. We manage to find the hotel with relative ease, another few beers, kebab and early-ish night. Joint first after todays challenge and chasing the win tomorrow, need to be up early. Mileage total - 1057.
