Days 6 & 7-Killarney, Co. Kerry

Days 6 & 7-Killarney, Co. Kerry

Day 5- Today we travel further south to the beautiful countryside of Killarney. We will be staying at the gorgeous Lake Hotel, situated on the famous lakes of Killarney. It is nestled up to Killarney National Park, which is world famous for its beauty. We will most likely spend the day exploring the spectacular scenery of this place!

Day 6-This is a day that I've REALLY been looking forward to! Today, Carl and I are scheduled to be picked up at the front door of the Lake Hotel by a horse and carriage (seriously!) for a tour of Killarney National Park.

From our agency's website: "this tour through history, legend & folklore rambles its way through magnificent Killarney National Park, before

arriving at Ross Castle on the shores of Lough Léin. Your journey takes you through areas where no motor traffic is permitted, allowing you to experience a peaceful paradise, where the excess and noise of our modern world is blessedly absent.

A short stopover at the restored 15th Century castle, allows for a real glimpse of ancient Ireland at its finest. Ross Castle was home to the legendary Gaelic Chieftain O’Donoghue Ross and the last Irish fortress to fall to Cromwell in 1652. You will be returned to the town centre or your hotel awed by the experience." This sounds absolutely spectacular, and we are very much looking forward to it! We will be meeting our parents at the Castle so that we can all explore it together.
