Trip Diary – April/May 2017 – Killarney and the Ring of Kerry – Day 6

Day 6 – Killarney, Ireland and the Ring of Kerry

To do the Ring of Kerry “right,” according to the locals, you have to begin at Killorglin and go clockwise around the peninsula. Much of the way, you will parallel the Dingle Peninsula just to the north. At the bottom of the peninsula, life becomes much harder for the local inhabitants. Small, rocky islands appear off the coast, rocks begin to jut out of the mountains themselves, and the whole area takes on a much wilder appearance, which is why the area is known as the Wild Atlantic Way.

 

 

Until we priced them, we had considered “caravaning” across Ireland. We have seen several caravan parks (rv parks) around Ireland as we’ve traveled, but there is not a big rv population like there is in the states, at least in Ireland. The roads (width, condition, etc.) all play a part in how people caravan. The park below was owned by a large bar/restaurant at the bottom of the country, but most of the caravans (what we would call trailers) were brought in for the season, set up and leveled, and destined to be rented out. Other options are small modular buildings of all kinds that can be moved to a location and set up as a home. Most of the time, the caravaners fare better than the family who built their own castle in the wilderness, only to lose it to a major fire.

There was one particular section between Kenmare and Killarney that could fit into almost any road in the Colorado mountains once you left the pavement. We felt right at home, even with the tours buses forcing the caravans to hug the walls of the hills as they drove through. I think Cyndie has some pictures of a couple of those.

 

Ross Castle in Killarney is another castle being slowly brought back to life by the government. Originally owned by the O’Donoghue Mor (Ross) family in the 15th Century, it is now a major feature of Killarney National Park and is owned by Ireland. It sits on the bank of a huge lake fed by a large river.

 

Most doctors will prescribe a standard oral vasodilator, some of which can include anti-angiotensin or drugs called Prostacyclin and sildenafil, which is a form of sildenafil in canada. Necessary Precautions When you’re looking to shop for such drugs from across commander viagra the counter medical stores and thus for them, drugs can be bought through internet. But it is a costly medicine that is viagra cialis on line not affordable to all. That is why; Sildenafil citrate is called buy cialis pill . We have our Dollar Tree stores, and Cyndie and I love them! No need for price checks – everything’s a buck! Well, Killarney has Ireland’s alternative, at least from what we’ve seen so far. I call it the Euro-Fifty store – everything in the store is one and a half Euro’s. A Euro is about $1.06 in US Dollars right now, so you can figure that one out on your own. Being near the national park, we can only compare Killarney to a place like Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park, only several times larger.
