So after getting settled in Dublin and spending a few days touring the city, as well as the Guinness Brewery...of course...we then cruised out to the southwest to a beautiful area called Kerry. We stayed two nights in a wonderful town called Killarney, where we biked through the national park, saw the Killarney Castle, biked by the pristine lakes, and the gorgeous waterfalls. After a great bike ride and a wonderful dinner, we sat down for a few pints and some traditional, live Irish music. The following day we took a leisurely tour of the Ring of Kerry, which was phenomenal. The first half of the trip we cruised around the tour, admiring the Dingle Bay and it's beautiful penninsula. Then toured the mountains, lakes, and rivers of the Kerry coast. That night we had a relaxing dinner and of course...a few more pints at a small, home-style pub, with awesome music. We also met up with some really nice travelers from France and Canada, where we shared plenty of laughs and got some great advice about further travels through Europe.
After a morning bus ride north, we have landed in an awesome little college town of Galway, where we plan on checking out the sites and a few pubs for the night and next day....followed by a flight to Edinburgh, Scotland tomorrow afternoon...to meet up with some mates of mine from New Zealand. Im stoked to see some old friends and to tour some more castles and sites of Scotland. So far things are going great, and Im stoked for the future adventures. I hope all is well back home and heres to all of you....
CHEERS...with a Guinness pint in hand.

Okay, so where did you get decent food in Killarney? We had great ice-cream in Dingle (a place called Murphy's, I think).
ReplyDeleteI love the western part of Ireland!
Did you make it to Inch beach in Dingle? When we were there, it was a bazillion degrees below zero, but some dude was still surfing!
Take care, happy landings in Scotland.
