Foley's Townhouse and Restaurant Killarney

One Half is in the Journey

We headed west on the very scenic drive on the N69 from Askeaton (though it starts in Limerick), past Foynes, Loghill, Glin and Tarbert, then heading through Ballylongford to Ballybunion. The journey along the south bank of the Shannon Estuary is a joy in itself. We did not stop to take any pictures this time ...

Okay, so I decided to ditch the awful hostel in favour of somewhere with heating. I spoke to the hostel owner about the problems, and his basic response was 'I'm not giving you a refund. You can leave whenever you like.'
So I did.
I am now as a much nicer hotel in Killarney, and although this whole little fiasco has been rather ...

we spent the morning walking around tralee then caught the bus to dingle town. because it was winter most of the tours weren't running but we found a company that would give us a private tour, so rach and i set off in a mini van for a 2 hour tour of the dingle peninsular. we drove around the very beautiful coast (we were very lucky with the weat...

recap of the last week:

I stayed in most of the week, catching up on some school stuff and much needed sleep. Unfortunately we had no water all week, at all in my room and only cold in the 4 rooms that used the other pump. i have never taken a faster shower in my life. i used to get in, get wet, turn the water off, use soap, shampoo, tu...

we were woken up by a call from the mechanic at 9:30 saying he had our tyre so we quickly got dressed and packed and went to get it put on the car. it only took 5 minutes once they actually had the tyre! we were so keen to get out of kinsale that we forgot about breakfast, so we stopped half an hour down the road in clonakilty for brunch. our pl...

I can't get over how much blogging I have done for the month of December…so much fun happening!

So, New Year's celebration...I want to thank my amazing friend Melanie for a fabulous celebration!

I was asked by a few people how I came...

I forgot to tell you yesterday about our jaunting car ride--or as us folks from Illinois would call it--a ride in horse drawn buckboard! When we first arrived yesterday, this jaunting car ride was on the agenda. It was a pleasant ride around town and through a beautiful park and by an old castle. Saw wild flowers growing, swans swimming in the l...

I've done it.... The Dingle Way is completed, all 150 km of it. It's sad like after a race, all the work put in and it's over!! I'll be honest, there was a part I didn't walk. As stubborn as I am, it was raining like during Jayne's first 5km race. We started to walk but stuck out our thumbs and got rides to Castelgregory. So there was about 15 k...

We are in the Neptune's Hostel in Killarney now and we are only staying two nights here; two nights probably doesn't sound like long enough but if you wake up early and go all day long you can see enough of one place. We've checked out all the shops and Virginia even bought something....a zip up sweat shirt and it was 50% off (what a deal!). We ...
