Irish Tour-part one

Warning: to those of the cheap travelling budget, choose your ryanair travel time very carefully. We had a mad family of five screaming children sitting behind us of which the husband looked like he would welcome either death or the first blond that would come across his path. The youngest of the family were twin girls about one and half and the oldest would have been about 10. Ben coped the best he could with the ipod, I however appear to have a magic system built in where it allows me to sleep right though the ruckus. :P

Wonderful trip, we spent six days five nights. We started out our tour around Blarney, staying in camping grounds there. This is a beautiful place, green, though that is a bit funny as Ireland is the most green place in the world. It has the excellent and ancient Blarney Castle with is magic stone which as legend will have it, if kissed will bestow the kisser with the gift of the gab. Naturally we did this last time we were here on our honeymoon so I didn't need to recharge it.



Ben will be adding the lovely panaramas soon, so don't forget to check up later!

After this we headed off to the Ring of Kerry. It was excellent to do again as the last time we were on a bus and went the opposite direction. So this time we were able to get out and take heaps of pictures.



After this we went off to Killarney, wonderful place also. We spent the night hanging around pubs and checking out the lovely beverages the Irish have on offer as well as the entertainment. We listened to a great group with a banjo and a squeezy box (technical term).


Next was the super excellent location of Dingle, this has to be our favorite place in Ireland. Super green, stunning cliff top views, ancient groovy fort things from thousands of years ago. And of course the pubs, pints and irish reels.



Stay tuned for part two which will include the second lot of pics from Dingle and then move on to County Clare and Dublin.
