Day 14
Galway to Kenmore Atlantic coast
May 1 in Ireland ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C
Stopped the night in Galway another Blah city. Getting in last night was a nightmare. We got caught in a traffic jam, so ditched out and sat at Subway until the traffic eased.
We left early this am and headed to the Cliffs of Moher. The photos do not do it justice. They are spectacular. Bought a bit of tat from the gift shop. 🎁
Headed to Kenmare, our destinations and the scenery went from ordinary to shunning.
We are based in Kenmare in a gorgeous apartment beside a beautiful river about 3 kms outside the pretty town . To get here, we drove across the top of the ring of Kerry. The scenery was gob smacking. Photos attached.
Off to bed soon it has been a long but good day As usual, we had trouble finding our accomodation for the night. We had to ring the guy and ask him to meet to guide us to his place. Turned out , I phoned him from his driveway😤Read more

Traveler Yes, I am feeling pretty tired . We will do a 2 hr 30 trip ariund the Beara Peninsula tiday. Our host thinks it's much nicer than the ring of Kerry. And we won't be sharing these narrow roads with tour coaches 🙄

Day 15
Kenmare a drizzly but enjoyable day
May 2 in Ireland ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C
When we got to Kenmare yesterday, the plan was to go around the Ring of Kerry. However, this intrepid duo managed to knock off the top end of it with the route we took on the way into Kenmare yesterday.
We spoke to our host Nick, and he recommended the much lesser known lBeara Peninsula was better and was far less touristy. And we avoid 93 tour buses 🚌 Yay.
Well, despite the drizzle, it was cracking good. We traveled down the upper side facing the Ring of Kerry with lits of lochs and glades and sea views to Castletownbare, which is a sizable town that has a large fishing fleet I think it may be lobster fishing, but I'm not completely sure.
The trip back was fab. Looking across at Bantry Bay, the beaches were great, but the climb up to the Cara pass was fantastic . We could see the Atlantic for milesThere were tunnels through the black shale rock, and the road was like a good Coromandel trip.
As usual, the pics don't capture the sheer awesomeness!!
Got back to the lovely apartment for 4 pm. We are having a quiet evening in having only spent 4 hours traveling today.
Off to Waterford tomorrow, and then it is our last stop in IEire of Dublin.See y'all.Read more

Traveler Is has been stunning. Ireland has patches of utterly insane beauty. Some of it is blah. But when it is good, it is breathtaking.

Day 6
Travel day between Kilkenny and Kenmare
July 12, 2023 in Ireland ⋅ ☁️ 61 °F
We all hurt bad this morning. Too many drinks while celebrating Mom. Totally worth it!
Our driver, Paul, picked us up at 10am. He took us to Rock of Cashel, Titanic Experience and St. Coleman's Cathedral. He made stops along the way for food. We had our first sausage rolls - so dang good! We ate at a petrol station. Sounds so odd, but the food is actually really tasty and fresh. I had a turkey sandwich that tasted homemade.
When we got to Kenmare, he took us to the local grocery store to stock up for our 3 days here. Can I just say how inexpensive the food is here?
Kenmare has won Ireland's Tidy Town award for over 20 years in a row. And it shows. A very clean town. The population is a bit over 2,000. Paul was very proud to share these fun facts about his home town.
This day we walked 4,310 steps.
Paul was awesome. It was his birthday this day, but he had to turn around and drive 4 hours back to Dublin to meet more tourists.Read more
Traveler Pretty!

Day 8
Kenmare
July 14, 2023 in Ireland ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F
Gosh! This town has my heart. So small, yet big. We talked to many fun people here.
We ate at P.F. McCarthy for dinner. Delicious food! Cory had ribs, mom and I shared the potato cakes, and I had chowder while Cory had prawns. Live music was happening. A harp player! We were stoked to be sitting so close. Unfortunately for us, a very large wedding party was there. They were so loud! None of the other patrons could hear the harp. Sad. Happy for the new couple though!
We left and went to Kenmare Inn for music and a drink. We hung out, then headed to a store for supplies, then Lilly House for takeaway Chinese for a late night snack.
Funny story - we were waiting for our food, mom and Cory wanted to call a taxi. I wanted to walk. A guy in a taxi came into the restaurant to pick up food. He chatted with us. He said he could take us. He was our Ring of Kerry driver's boss! Niall was picking food up for his family, and kindly dropped us at home for no charge! We switched our laundry, and went to bed.
See next post for today's adventure.Read more
Traveler I loved everything about Kenmare. Very cute town, fun pubs, great music. The potato balls in gravy were delicious 😋 No wonder I didn't loose any weight with all our walking.

Day 8
Kenmare 2
July 14, 2023 in Ireland ⋅ ☁️ 63 °F
Second post. Today was rainy to start. It was our rest day, so we slept in, ate some breakfast, I got some work done and Cory took a quick nap. Then we got ready and walked back into town. The weather turned out to be perfect.
We were on a mission to find dice. Apparently, it's not a thing in Ireland. We could not find them ANYWHERE. Not even in a toy and game store. Silly.
After the stone circle, we had lunch at Kenmare Brewery. Delish food! Mom's goat cheese salad was the best!
I bought a funny shirt and we made our way through town. We went into almost all the stores today. We stopped at Foley's for a drink. We had a great conversation with the liquor store guy (liquor stores are called "off license " stores).
After that stop, we decided a taxi was the way to go. And a funny taxi driver took us home. Great humor! We were all roasted the entire 4 minute drive.
Tonight we chilled, snacked, played cards, did laundry, and now we are watching Schitt's Creek. We saw a deer! Actually, mom some how spotted the deer.
Getting ready for bed so we can get ready to move on to Dingle in the morning.

Traveler I loved every part of our stay in Kenmare. Definitely want to go back!

Day 6
Bayswater
July 12, 2023 in Ireland ⋅ ☁️ 59 °F
This airbnb was such a great find. The views were spectacular. We saw a deer. Watched the tide go in and out. The townhouse was 2 stories. Mom's room had an ensuite. Ours had 2 twins. There were 2 other common bathrooms. We struggled learning how to use the combo washer/dryer. And it takes a very, very long time. We had to turn the hot water on from a weird box upstairs. And, like all European bathrooms, there are no wall plugs in the bathrooms.
The beds were too hard. So we were ready to move on.
The owner had flowers, fresh bread and small local jams for us. 5 stars.Read more
Traveler Really cute stay despite the hard beds. Location was beautiful.
