Killarney National Park

Thursday was a stellar day, starting with a gorgeous sunrise and staying sunny until we left the park. The park sits just below Killarney town, easily accessible. It is a beautiful place, with lakes, old abbeys, graveyards, waterfalls and red deer. A primary feature, the Muckross house, dominates a great meadow and stands over the area as a large reminder of beauty in those ages.
We found out what a jaunting car was - a horse-drawn carriage that took us around the park. The driver educated and entertained us along the way. Wonderful way to travel.
We returned to the Beara and had a very good dinner at Josie's Restaurant. Diana and I had been there 12 years ago with friends and it was unchanged. It sits on a small hill on the edge of a lake - Glanmore - which is encircled by tall hills, rocks and sheep. A beautiful and special place. We met a German couple and had good conversation with them.

A good day. Friday we leave this wonderful cottage and travel to Doolin for a night.

Enjoy..
