County Kerry would have to be one of the most beautiful places in the world. Checked out of Mary O'Connell's B & B (called St Anthony's Lodge) after another very hearty breakfast and got some information from the Tourist office for our drive around the Ring of Kerry. Once again it was a very cold morning, in fact Mary's car had ice on it and there were reports of snow in Dublin.
We drove to Cahersiveen & stopped at a pub for the dual purpose of having a coffee and using the internet but no wifi for us there! Drove on to Portmagee and across to the island of Valentia where the roads are super narrow and the scenery spectacular! Walked out to a couple of viewing points and was pleased I am a bit overweight as would surely have been blown away!!! Brrrrrrrr!!!!!
Had lunch at a cute little pub in Knight's Town then continued around the ring to Waterville. From there we drove to Smeen, Kenmare, Moll's Gap and back to Killarney. A fantastic day with a bit of everything - cold, wind, sun, drizzle...... Not unlike Melbourne, really!!!!
We decided to return to Dan Mann's restaurant/hotel where we ate last night and checked in for two nights. We really enjoyed listening to Michael Kennedy last night and tonight there was a different guy singing. No Irish Jigging from me, yet.
Our plans for tomorrow don't exist yet. There are lots of options but a rest day could be the go. On the other hand we may go to Dingle.
