Forgot to include a photo of me going off the diet to have a Guinness. But we are in Ireland and it is traditional. I have been enjoying the Irish Cider here so I really have not missed beer.
Started our day today at Torc Falls. The best view was from the bottom of the falls. Took the hike up the falls to see the top, but the view from the bottom was better. The highlight of the climb was the view of Killarney Lakes.
Our guide, Robert drove us around the Ring of Kerry. The road is great and I could have driven this but with a driver, I got to see a lot more of the scenery. Had great view of The Skelligs and had lunch is a cute small coast town of Portmagee. Portmagee is near Valencia island where the Transatlantic cable made landfall in Europe. Before we went back to our hotel, we stopped at the Gap of Dunloe, where got up close and personal with two horses.
Ended the day with a little dinner in Killarney and a little shopping, mostly looking, before adjourning to Murphy’s Pub for some music. Bill played for about 2 hours and got to sing 2 songs. Had a great time. At least one of the other musicians had been to Milwaukee’s Irish Fest.
Tomorrow we will do a little more touring near Killarney before heading back to Ennis. We will see a few sights along the way.
Cheers – that Guiness looks delicious! enjoy , looks like a great start to your trip.
What an awesome trip – love the beautiful scenery. Especially like the pictures of Bill playing in the local pubs. Such a neat experience.
