A day where by 9 in the morning we had been for a long long walk and back.
Started early to walk in the Killarney National Park. First to the Muckross house and then the Torc waterfall. One of the nicest walks we have been on, just us on the trail, a lake on one side, trees lining the paths, a clear sky above and mountains in the distance. Great start to the day.
Then to the Waterford Tall Ships festival. The town was bustling, traffic was diverted and the streets were full of people, some on stilts. The river was filled with ships of all sizes, the sails were not up otherwise it would have been a scene from the Pirates of the Caribbean. Stalls of food and drinks, 3 platforms with live music and a carnival at one end with rides and games. Went on a Columbian ship, quite a young crew though very welcoming. The night ended with a great display of fireworks.
Been a full on day but lovely.
