Day 7
Bustour zurück zu Kate Kearney's Cottage
August 19, 2017 in Ireland ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
Unser Bootsführer für den zweiten Teil der Bootstour lässt uns bei Ross Castle aussteigen. Er gibt uns die Information, dass in etwa 20 Minuten ein Busfahrer kommt, der uns wieder zurück zu Kate Kearney's Cottage bringt.

Aus den 20 Minuten werden dann allerdings über 60 Minuten, die wir neben einem abgesperrten Bus warten. Ein Anruf beim Tourveranstalter ergibt die Auskunft, dass gerade viel 'Traffic' ist und dass der Fahrer unterwegs ist. Es stellte sich dann heraus, dass nicht der Straßenverkehr gemeint war, sondern das Aufkommen an Bootspassagieren. Unser Bootsführer entpuppte sich nämlich als einer von 2 Busfahrern, die die Gäste wieder zu ihren Zielorten bringen.

Statt um 16:30, wie in den Papieren angegeben, kommen wir um 17:30 Uhr wieder an unserem Ausgangspunkt an. Alles in allem ist es ein schöner Ausflug gewesen, den allerdings die insgesamt gut 3 Stunden, die wir zwischendurch immer wieder warten mussten, deutlich eingetrübt haben.Read more

We apologize. We have not kept up on this. I don’t think we caught our breath since we landed. It’s been so much fun. We have spent time with so many great people. The Mullingar clan. (Where I grew up) the Dublin clan (sisters family) our dear friend from Belfast (Daddy) and the clan from Killarney. Including our new found friend Terry (Via Atlanta).

We will catch up with all the details and photos shortly. CheersRead more

Day 16
Arrival in Killarney

At about 2:00 pm we took the ferry across to Kerry. The locals refer to Kerry as "the Kingdom." We see long, lovely green vistas filled with cattle, broken by low stone walls. At 4:00 pm we arrived in Killarney, going first to a high overlook to see the famous three lakes. Then Glenda and I walked on the trail leading through the national park to the center of town. We found the Irish football teams for the cathedral schools were just finishing practice. I found two girls and asked them to explain the rules for Irish football. They did so and then let me take a photo. I took photos of the cathedral, then we walked a little further downtown before turning back and retracing our steps to the hotel. A bride and groom had just gotten married and as they waited outside the reception hall, they allowed me to take their picture. We and the Dicksons had dinner with Skip and Tutti. I took a break from bland potatoes and had a delicious vegetarian Thai green curry over rice, extra spicy. I also ordered a nice Chardonnay to accompany the meal.Read more

Fun-filled week in Killarney with family & friends. We walked into town most afternoons/evenings to meet up with the family for dinner/drinks, then usually ended up at Scott’s Bar (Hi Mush!), with ample entertainment provided by our friends Chompie and Jason, aka Daddy.

Golfed Killarney’s Killeen course, which is always a treat (thanks Chomp!). Our new friend, Terry from Atlanta, got us and nephew Charlie out on Dooks, which was a lot more fun my 2nd time around when I wasn’t trying to play it like a course back home (the bump and run is *critical*). Charlie & I hit Beaufort with Mush (thanks again!) and Daddy when Donny opted for a much-needed nap after the trip’s nights of revelry and mayhem finally caught up.

Took the Gap of Dunloe tour from Muckross Castle to Kate Kearney’s cottage. Jack & Donny, having done the tour before, said that it was the first time the boat ride wasn’t rainy and/or cold. Lucky us! At one point, the captain cut the engines so we could hear our voices echo off the hills, and we got to spend a few extra minutes floating peacefully when he couldn’t get the motor re-started right away. Grabbed a snack just off the boat then headed out for the 2+ hour walk up and over the gap, with only a minimum of whinging. 🥴

Rounded out the week with horse racing, but that deserves its own post.Read more
