It was a bit gloomy...
...but we made our way anyway...
...and it was worth it...
O'Brien's Tower
The tower was built in 1835 by local landlord Cornelius O'Brien as a viewing point for the tourists that even then were flocking to the Cliffs.
Constance enjoying the view.
If you look closely to this last picture, you can see a man standing very near the edge. He turned out to be a park ranger...a very handsome ranger...with very handsome steely blue eyes. He let us borrow his binoculars to have a look a falcon, but we didn't get his name. Not that it would have mattered - in Constance's opinion he was too old for me and too young for her. Oh well!
We got to Killarney without a place to stay, but the tourist information people found us a very nice hotel called the Earls Court House, just on the edge of town. After a brief walk around town we had dinner at a nearby restaurant called Kayne's Bistro. Good food, good atmosphere...and a bottle of wine!
