... very pretty seaside town of Portmagee for a 45 to 90 minute crossing depending on what size boat you are in. Choose the faster boat. I was so scared at times looking at the size of the waves that I was having second thoughts about the trip. Swallow your fears and GO. This is one amazing site like no other on the planet.

The boats head for Little Skellig first. It is home to 28,000 breeding ...

... it - bless those Irish drinkers!

Lunch was in Dingle, a small fishing village. It's best known for it's resident dolphin - Fungie who hangs out with the boats all day. The village offers sightseeing trips and are so sure you will see him you get your money back if you don't!

Back into the bus and past the Lakes of Killarney and into Killarney proper. Before our bags were down we were on the horse and carriage which ...

... and rivers - true postcard stuff. The weather again has been smiling on us and we enjoyed blue skies all day.

Michael our tour guide has continued to be a wealth of knowledge - in addition to the fairy stories, he's also told us legend of the white horses of Ireland and filled us in on the Potato Famine, which went for about 5 years and killed up to half of the Irish population - through disease, starvation or dying on the ...

... to see how we react to situations. and if any of you know how many bathroom breaks Nic and I take on roadtrips, you'll know when I say that I have seen more bathrooms in this country than Irish pubs. And they are all grosssss gas station bathrooms...giving us all great thigh workouts!! And it is sooooo hard to find a good cup of coffee here. Honestly, its all instant coffee and super strong. There isnt Time Hortons or Starbucks on every corner.

... farm into a ruin with overgrown fields. It is in a prime location overlooking the bay and would be a lovely spot for a B&B.

We had another (expensive, but tasty) meal at the ferry restaurant – Angela very kindly shouted us all with a 100 euro note that she had been saving for a special occasion. She entertained the ladies with tales about the magnetic effects of her latest online acquisition too.

... very proud of their Irish Heritage and the county has voted to keep all of the signs only posted in Irish. As a consequence many tourists get lost and have difficulty finding their hotels, etc. So what happens is that the locals involved in the tourist industry spray paint the English names on the sign. It's bizarre, almost looks like tagging. But, it ...

... or cared who won. It basically seemed an excuse to have lost of traditional Celtic music and have the bars stay open late for five nights in a row. I did, however, learn that there was a San Francisco Rose but the odds on her were 20-1 to begin with and jumped to 50-1 when she was not selected to have her "party piece" featured on television. See ya. As for Tralee itself, it is in county Kerry in the southwest and not terribly big. It ...

... from but when we got to the church, the gates were locked! but then the woman who takes care of the cathedral let us in!! it was so so beautiful.

... we were off on our merry way again. In addition to the thickest of thick accents Kerry is also pretty well known as a county that takes Gaelic Football particularly seriously, and near Castlemaine we pulled over and watched a local scratch game for a while. This was the first time I had seen the game played in the flesh and I was also hoping that we’d be able to see hurling, Ireland’s other great fast and physical ...
