Southern Ireland Ring of Kerry 2008

We staarted the day with a bus ride around the Ring of Kerry, a peninsula ssticking into the Atlantic Ocean with Dingle Bay on one side. It is very picturesque and contains 3,000 foot high mountains in the middle.
There are over 12 million sheep in Ireland and bog which covers 30% of the land is cut up and used for fuel. Sto[[ed at a thatched roof cottage for a mid morning treat of rhubarb tart and hot chocolate; saw ancient standing stones (5,000 years older than the Egyptian Pyramids); viewed stone walls instead of hedges surrounding property and stopped for a potato quiche lunch before driving through Killarney Park.
Back at the Killarney hotel, Kathy and I took a horse and buggy ride in the “liquid sunshine” to a 5th century castle with a jarvey (driver) who was full of blarney. Kathy spotted a red deer which promises good luck.
We ended the day at a pub with food, music and dancing.
