One Sunday (well, probably quite a lot of other days too, really) we had a moment of crisis, wondering what the heck we were doing in Ireland. The solution on this occasion was to drive to Killarney, then Ladies’ View (so called due to Queen Vic’s ladies-in-waiting liking the view back in the day (or made-up stuff from Wikipedia – you decide)), Moll’s Gap and along to Kenmare. I’m a software developer, so I’m allowed to nest brackets if I feel like it, incidentally.
The weather was fantastic – a perfect day. Lunch in the Avoca cafe at Moll’s Gap was a treat too:
When we got to Kenmare they were making a big deal about the upcoming Halloween celebrations, but apparently health and safety had made it less dramatic than previous years – there was a crack-down on the use of flaming sods of turf soaked in diesel being used as torches on the procession, for example. Killjoys!
Here are some landscape pics from the drive:
