Day 9: Killarney National Park

Today, we did a self guided e-bike tour around Killarney National Park. It was another rainy one that cut our ride a little shorter than expected, but it was beautiful and we were so glad we did it. The drive through Killarney was breathtaking. The bike ride around even more amazing. Views of lakes, creeks and castles, galore.







And we made it home in time for a well earned afternoon beer.

Day 8: Kenmare

Our first morning in Kenmare, we decided to play another round of golf. It was very rainy, but we pushed through. It was worth it we only lost a million golf balls in the narrowest course either of us had ever played. All kidding aside, we did have fun and were glad we did it. After golf, we went to lunch at Casey’s. Kelly spent some time talking to the owner and learning about where her Casey’s came from. It was a great visit with great food as well. In the afternoon, we explored a little more. We found the Kenmare Stone Circle. According to ringofkerry.com, “stone circles were built during the Bronze Age (2200 - 500 B.C.) believed to be for ritual and ceremonial purposes.” The rest of the walk about was just quintessential town stuff.
