So, here we are in Killarney...or were...where we opted to stay two nights instead of what had become our habit of moving on after one so that we could have a full day to enjoy a leisurely drive around the Ring of Kerry.
The Ring of Kerry - or the Iveragh Peninsula - is a big deal in the tourist books on Ireland, so of course Constance and I had to have our tour around it as well. It is said to have some of the most beautiful scenery in the south of Ireland and beautiful scenery we did see...albeit mostly from the windows of our car as we drove by. I hate to admit it, but at this point in our journey around Ireland, Contance and I were...tired. We did want to see, but we were feeling a bit worn and weren't so interested in doing.
Our trusty little carriage...
That said, we got in the car bright and early and began the 110 mile journey - taking the clockwise route as there has apparently been some grand agreement amongst the tour companies to go the counter clockwise route so as to not cause massive jam ups on the tiny two lane roads.
We did manage to get ourselves out of the car for a few of the more spectacular views...
...like these donkeys!
They were very friendly...
...but seriously...
...there was some beautiful scenery...
...the final stretch of the journey...The Ladies View lookout...
...and a different view of the Ladies View...
...and finally, dinner with a lovely lady.
