Sneem to Kenmare
17 de agosto de 2017, Irlanda ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
This was another morning on which we were prepared for rain. Lucky enough, the walk started off dry, even the sun came out. The main part of the Kerry Way followed the coast line. What we could see was actually the atlantic ocean. It looked more like a lake as the opposite side of the bay was so close.

There was a part of the walk that llooked like a walk through the jungle. Ireland must really be a wet place, probably the wetest place in Europe.

The last 7 km of the way turned out to become the toughest part of the day. We had to climb two hills, that became mountains as the soil became nearly impenetrable. A lot of bog. And last but not least we came into two heavy rain. Just before heading down to Kenmare, the sky opened up and the sun came out again.

Kenmare is a very busy small town full of pretty small shops and restaurants. It has a population of 2100 people.Leia mais

Kenmare
17 de agosto de 2017, Irlanda ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
This is a beautiful small town just at the end of the Kenmare Bay. From here, you can see both, the Kerry and the Beara Peninsula. This is also the last stop before the final hike to Killarney, where we will end the Kerry Way !!!Leia mais

Kenmare to Killarney
18 de agosto de 2017, Irlanda ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
Well, today's hike, the last one of the Kerry Way, is not for the faint hearted. We had everything on the trail. Lots of rain, patchy at some times, sunshine (which is good, but it lasts only for a few minutes until the next shower) etc...

The trail itself was pretty eay to walk, not too boggy. Ere were just three passages through rivers, that made the walk tricky. There was even one with a rope. But at the end, we managed them all.

After a third of the trail, we joined the path that came from Killarney, the same we took a week ago when we started the Kerry Way. We made the same rest at Lord Brandon's Cottage. Just before the B&B. We had a week ago, we attacked the ascent to the Gap of Dunloe. It's a narrow montain passage to the otherside of Killarney. For us, this was a more direct route to where the hotel was located.

The Gap of Dunloe is used by many jaunting cars with tourists. These are small carts with 4 passengers. They normally ride from Lord Brandon's Cottage to the Gap of Dunloe. Nice for families.

From this point, we had only 5 km to make until our final destination and the end of The Kerry Way.Leia mais

The Europe Resort & SPA A Liebherr Story
19 de agosto de 2017, Irlanda ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C
We ended our last hike just by the Killarney Lake. We stayed two nights at the wonderful Europe Resort. This brilliant hotel was built by the german Liebherr Group in the fifties and became one of the first hotels in the area. First it was used to accommodate clients, who visited the Liebherr factory (production of container cranes). Then in the eighties, the hotel opened to the public.Leia mais

Tralee
20 de agosto de 2017, Irlanda ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
We arrived in Tralee during the one week Rose of Tralee Festival. There was quite a lot going on. We decided to visit the Kerry Museum. There was a very interesting exhibition about Roger Casement, who was one of the key figures of the Easter Rising from 1916. Another great expo was the one about Tom Crean, who travelled with Shackelton to Antarctica. We could also experience Tralee in the 13th century ! Very interesting place, worth a visit !Leia mais

The small town of Dingle is the main town of the Dingle Peninsula. There are many sights worth a visit. On the day of arrival, there was a regatta race just going on in the harbour. Bad thing was the rain during our stay. But we should get used to, as the days to come will show.Leia mais
