McSweeney Arms Hotel Killarney

Well this morning we woke to heavy heads and grey skies. A quick brekkie and we were off on the bus once more. We drove along the Dingle peninsula for a while, which some breathtaking cliffs and scenery. At one stage we got off the bus to take some photos, and Mike closed the doors and drove a little way down the road - enforcing some fresh air and exercise! We also got the opportuinity to climb a rather large hill, covered in sheep ...

Well needless to say today began with a headache, after finding the craic in Galway. Armed with lots of water and my first coffee in 5 days!, we set off. <br><br>Before long we were travelling through the Buren - a wild desolate area, made of limestone with spectacular views. We visited a beautiful desolate abbey, then started making like the goats that inhabit the area and climbed some hills with spectacular views of the coastline. Michael ...

... at the Railway Hostel,in a cute three-person room and just relaxed tonight...Because ours burnt out the night before, the first thing we needed to do was find a hair straightener when we woke up because heaven forbid Haley, Nicole and I not having a straightener while backpacking. Thats just how we roll while we're backpacking. <br><br>There are sooooo many rainbows here. We saw five yesterday. The sky is pitch black with a small ray of ...

... Ireland because they&#8217;ll soon be too old to rent a car. They&#8217;re returning home next week by way of Dublin and they haven&#8217;t been to some of our favorite places along the way, so we shared information.<br><br>We&#8217;ve gone through all our clothes and have everything for our final days in one suitcase. We&#8217;re starting to get ready to go home, and while there&#8217;s still a lot to see and do, I think we&#8217;ll be happy when Saturday is here.

... to practise their rally car skills needs to do this first part of the ring of Kerry!<br><br>Up on Lady's view we had a perfect view back along the way we came.. we had lunch at Waterville, what would be a very lovely sea side village in the summer! lol. The day was quite mild but the water was freezing!! <br><br>Back around the other side reminded me of Scotland with the wild mountains and mist!!<br><br>This ...

... baking bread over the fire in the farmhouses. We saw lots of animals, which you know we loved! Favourites were the napping piglets who awoke for their feed while we were there. I have never heard such a commotion! The squawking and noise that came out of them was unbelievable as they climbed over each other and pushed and shoved! Mum was not happy! The other highlights were the farm cat and the Irish Wolfhounds. They were gorgeous, like Kelsie and Kaylah one was the ...

... anyone. Turns out I not only do this in Canada, but also am starting to make a habit of it here, which is quite a scary thought. Mal came back late, we talked about how silly I was, and snoozed away. I woke up fairly late in the morning (11am), but much like the rountine me and Mal had been following over the last week, I awoke much earlier than her. She seems to need alot of sleep, whether it is from being an ill traveller, or just ...

... In some of my pictures you can see it's partly sunny and then on one it's cloudy and rainy. It was raining so much when we stopped to take pictures and then by the time we got back on the bus there was a rainbow and the sky was clearing up with in a few minutes, so everyone got back off the bus and took some more pictures. It was good to see the country side and the ...

... no way I could see things the same way before I get back... I have seen some amazing views, amazing people and at the same time have had some very liberating experiences as you have already read... to cut the story short due to time, (hopefully I will be able to elaborate on this whole trip in a little bit here), with the group I was in, we went to a beautiful beach here in south Ireland, the ...

... pictures and leave. After that, we headed back to Killarney. We made dinner again, and then took a walk into the Killarney National Park. The park was very pretty and Ross Castle was in the back by the lake. You can look past the lake to the mountains. Well, of course after that we got left behind- then ended up just walking to town. We just came back to the hostel. Everyone else wanted to get trashed their last night in Ireland. Well, Ireland- BYE BYE! I will definitely miss you! :)
