After adventuring through the Killarney National park we made our way down to Muckross Park, still inside the Killarney National Park however way to far to walk if you want to include all of the sites in one day, so we took the bus down the road into Muckross Park which had peaceful surrounding when walking to the next site!!
It really felt like somthing out of a childrens book, walking down theRead more

In the Killarney National Park is a small castle "Ross Castle" which dates back to the 15th century and was owned by one of the ODonoghue Ross chieftains who were essentially wealthy farm owners.
It was easy to take a step back in time and feel how they lived and even more how the Irish laws were in that time, at one point in the 18th century people were taxed for having roofs on the houses!! ARead more

On our walk through Killarney National park the deer roam free! And by chance i was lucky enough to see on up close, yes i was freaked out! But it was so worth it!
We walked the trails through the park passing horse and carriage rides which i seemed to have missed at the front gate! Damn!! However the walk was much more exciting, and relaxing, when your not worried about a huge deer going toRead more

Today we set off to The Sky Gardens in Liss Ard Estate Skibbereen!
The sky garden was original a place of relaxation, were rich nobal people would go and lie on the rock bed in the middle of the lowered ground.
When laying down there i felt so relaxed! With nothing but the ground around you and the sky above!!
Of corse we then climbed to the top of the grass ledge and rolled down!

Today we visited the Culzean Castle! Owned and run by Clan Kennedy and is the former home of the Marquess of Ailsa. Dating back to the 12th century in Scotland. The clan that i can trace my heritage back to!
The Castle is apparently home to at least seven ghosts including a piper and a servant girl.
It was amazing to walk through the castle, and more importantly find painting, and documents thatRead more

The early bird gets the worm!

After a long day of trips and sigthseeing we headed into town to find a nice place to eat and stumbled across the "The West Kirk" restaurant, its a bar and restaurant in an old church!
The food was amazing! Huge and filling and the drinks went down even better! Two pints of berry cider and i was well ready for bed!
United KingdomAfter a full day of sight seeing in Glasgow we took the hour train ride out to Ayr, to check into our Bed and Breakfast for the night! After we had got unpacked and had a tiny rest we set off to explore just what was around the neighborhood! And lucky for us just down the road was the beach! Obviously nothing a warm blooded aussie would swim in, and as you can tell we wernt coping to well with theRead more
