Part of the ring of Kerry

After a peaceful sleep (apart from Gwen's sore legs) and a partial Irish breakfast (not the full Irish) we set off. First we went to Ross Castle - ducks, fantastic views of the lake and a magnificent ruin. Next we sojourned to Muckross - delightful gardens. We spent a couple of hours exploring the gardens- and stayed for lunch and shopping.
Next we piled in the car for a drive to Lady's View and what a wonderful view of the lakes. Officially on the beautiful ring of Kerry we cruised around narrow roads with hairpin turns and nerves of steel! As we pulled in we saw the kiwis parked taking their snaps. It was cute to see 'friends' on the way! They had driven in the opposite direction to us to miss the tourist buses. We were amused by the leprechaun sign and asked a passer by to take our photo. After a short break and a cuppa we were on our way back to our quaint little cottage.
Our return journey had us managing the motorways like old pros! We made it back in record time. :-)
Back at Midleton a stop was made at Tescos where Gwen informed us we may get a meal deal - a meal for two - starter, main, desert and a bottle of wine! What a bargain at 12 euro!!
