Cathedral in Cork
Cork is a good 150k from the Ring of Kerry. According to Lonely Planet, the Ring of Kerry is 179k, beginning & ending in Kilarney. No, we did not do the entire Ring of Kerry. In fact, I don't think we did much of it because we got lost inside the ring! And we only had enough petrol to get us 50k! Luckily we stumbled across a bigger town that had a petrol station!! (And a bathroom!!!! I don't have the luxury that guys do when it comes to finding a wall to climb over for a bathroom break.) The plan for the day was to make it to the coast & chill for an hour or two & then be in Limerick at the B&B by 7pm. Well, we were in Limerick by 7, but we never really found the coast & put another 350km on the car.
Macroom castle! No, we didn't stop. :-(
Imagine meeting this on a "two-lane" Irish road. We did! Here's proof!
Possibly the coast?
Of all the cities we visited, Limerick is my favorite though there's nothing to it. Our B&B owner was fabulous, giving us a map & circling a place to eat where we would hear live music (I'll try to post the video) & then noting a night club that was open until 2am.

Rowing on the river
That's what I call a proper Irish sunset.
Well, we made it to the pub, but after putting a way several beers & Fat Frogs, we decided to call it a night & get to bed since we had to be at breakfast at 830.
Yes, those are mine. I enjoyed them immensely.
