Four tripsters depart for Killarney

Not long after breakfast we four got ourselves organized and decided that we would venture out of Cork and into Kerry. However the blarney woollen mills were first on the list of places to visit where a number of purchases were made by us all..... more weight for our cases! We then walked over to the Blarney Castle and had a lovely wander around the gardens. We viewed the blarney stone from below - there was about an hour wait from the
bottom to the stone so Gwen and Pauline decided to give kissing the stone a miss. However we did both blow kisses upwards!
Following a bite to eat for lunch in the wonderful courtyard (although not so
wonderful for CD with bees and wasps hanging around) we headed out of blarney to find our way to Killarney.
We did stop along the way to look around a few small villages Macroon and we admired the countryside along the way.
We arrived in Killarney and looked out for B & B and found a lovely little place with three rooms for us - Gwen and Pauline shared a twin.
After we had settled ourselves in we wandered into the village - very touristy with heaps of buses and American Tourists! We settled on fish and chips for tea - CD had a chicken burger which she thought was delicious!
As we were all very tired we headed back to the B & B to retire for the night. It is often quite exhausting traveling and finding our way around. We do not have Tom Tom and rely heavily on the signs and a map! We know we were doing well though, as the Kiwis we met along the way got confused - and they had a Tom Tom!
