In the morning, the car park filled with cars, hikers and dogs running around everywhere. I sniffed every corner, with my tail in antenna mode, alert to any hint of adventure. We walked through the forest around Tintern Abbey, among shadows and crunchy leaves, smelling a thousand secrets of nature.

The abbey stood majestic, with its ancient walls covered in ivy, reminding us of stories of monks, silences and prayers that still floated in the air. It was founded around the year 1200 by William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke, in fulfilment of a vow made after surviving a storm at sea.
I tried to convince Daddy Edu to go in, but he told me that dogs can't go in, so we could only see it from the outside... what a doggone injustice!

After midday, we set off by car and the weather decided it was time to get a little wet. We stopped briefly at a picnic area with a viewpoint to the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Bridge, the longest bridge in Ireland.

Opened in 2020, with a length of 887 metres, this concrete bridge spans the River Barrow, connecting the towns of New Ross in County Wexford and Glenmore in County Kilkenny.

From there, contemplating its structure and the river below made me imagine that I was crossing gigantic worlds and adventures that only brave dogs like me can imagine. Then we went over the very bridge, heading for Waterford, feeling the wind like a giant fan trying to mess up my hair.

We didn't go into the centre, but we parked at a point on the Waterford Greenway, an old railway path converted into a trail for bicycles and walks. The camper became our restaurant: fast food, tasty and with the best views of showers dancing around.

Between rain and puddles, we took a walk along the Greenway. I admit that on foot it's not so exciting, maybe on a bike it would be another story, but even so I sniffed corners and jumped over every puddle I found.

At almost seven o'clock, Daddy Edu decided to move us to another car park on the Greenway, just ten minutes by car. This one was flatter, quieter and with views of the river, perfect for watching every shadow and every reflection in the water. Here we are alone, with the murmur of the river in the background and the feeling that the adventure never rests.

Here we'll sleep well... and tomorrow, who knows, more paths, more puddles and for sure, more stories to tell you.
