Heading into the Killarney National Park, just a stone's throw from downtown. | We did the Ring of Kerry in a clockwise direction - most people go counter-clockwise to go with the "buses". | |
 |  |
Lake Leane in the Killarney National park. | The water was amazingly calm and clear. | |

| These shots are from "Ladies View" about halfway between Muckross and Molls' Gap. Aside from the beautiful countryside there weren't any people or structures on this part of the drive. There was however a pub at Ladies' View. | |

 |  |
Sheep in the road - we must be getting close to somewhere! | | |
 |  |
| Pictures taken from Moll's Gap looking back towards the very narrow road that had brought us here. | |
 |  |
In some cases the road was not even wide enough for a car and a bicycle, yet tour buses drive this ring regularly. | | |
 |  |
| Yes I'm bounding around the side of a mountain stalking sheep. | |

I decided to leave this guy alone. | The beach at Kenmare. | |
 |  |

Murphy's Bar in Kenmare... | Onward 'round the ring... | |

| A nice beach near Sneem. There were lots of trailers above the high tide line - looked like a "local" summer destination but this being October it was just the three of us, the pub manager and his labrador. | |

| The coast at Waterville. | |
 |  |
| Cahirciveen. | |
 |  |
Darby's Bridge | Darby's Bridge again, looking towards the atlantic - roughly across Dingle Bay looking towards Dingle. | |
 |  |
| King Puck (the Goat) Not entirely sure why, the town of Killorglin has a festival each summer celebrating King Puck - who is a goat. | |
 |  |
Murph's take-away in Beaufort. | Back in Killarney Casey's liquor store next to Murphy's Bar. This is the bar (pub) where staff was so friendly they gave me a Murphy's pint glass! | |
 |  |
Murphy's Ice Cream | One of Killarney's downtown streets. | |
 |  |
Mom looking surprised. | I checked this out - it's legit and not at all what one would think. | |
 |  |
Killarney by night | Shades of Erin - near the pony carts in Killarney. It looked like a fair number of shops close in the "off season" (Nov-March). | |
 |  |
Murphy's Bar. | Leaving Killarney | |
