The Ring of Kerry tour filled most of the day.
Bumpy start to the day with our tour being overbooked but they managed to get us on another one, a bit of a ride to catch them as they had left. From then on it was pretty smooth sailing, maybe too smooth as for a portion of it Jeevan and I both dozed off. Pretty scenery and an entertaining driver kept us engaged for the rest of the time. We paid to visit a Bog village, had us laughing as we could not believe we actually paid for it, two sleeping Irish wolfhounds, two horses and a few houses. We also paid to watch sheepdogs at work, having already seen this in Australia, it was still interesting, the farmer had a good sense of humor and the dogs were great.
The last bit was through the Killarney National park, gorgeous views throughout. The Gap of Dunloe, the lakes, the rivers and the greenery are very inviting.
As the tour finished , we went back to the National park for a bit of a stroll. Walked to the Ross castle, through the woods suddenly a clearing appears with a castle and the lake. Passed some deer along the way and a few horse drawn carriages. Felt at peace and happy.
Dinner was a healthy pizza for me i.e. a pizza where the middle is replaced with a salad, I am not sure if I will be having it again.
