For our fourth day we explored the Ring of Kerry which is a peninsula in the extreme southwest of the Island. With a few beaches, cliffs, hills, mountains and lakes, there was plenty to see.
The Ring of Kerry is a loop that is driven. We decided to go counter-clockwise to follow the routes taken by the buses (Since I was driving part of the way, I did not want to have to try to make room for them on the little roads they have around here that are called 2 lane roads).
The ferry down to Valentia Island was €4.50, and some of the areas required a few Euro to park, but other than that most of the sites were free to just pull off the road and enjoy. So far most of our dinner meals have been between €12 and €15 each – about what you would pay back home for what we are getting. And, diesel (we are driving a manual diesel) is about €1.39 per liter, so it is definitely a little higher than home.
I am supposed to be clicking my heels but I jumped a little early, and this one just looked too good of Kenny not to use.
Picnic lunches have become a norm on this trip.
The water of the North Atlantic was pretty cold, so we decided not to try swimming but some of the locals were not bothered by it.
Jeanette loves all of the animals that we are coming across – mostly sheep, cows and goats. This little deer had about 50 photos taken of him.Lady’s View. Also, where we saw Jeanette’s little friend, the deer.We stayed up on the rocks because Jeanette was a little scared of some goats down by the lake.
The walk leading to this waterfall reminded me of the Pacific northwest. You get to experience several climates on the Ring of Kerry.
We camped to save some money on lodgings (and for the fun of it). It cost about €42.00 for the 4 of us per night.I expected the shire bar to be built a little more like a house from the shire, but Kevin the bartender was still a nice guy.
