Today we drove the Ring of Kerry.
We had been warned it was a difficult drive by many people on trip advisor and by word of mouth. There are narrow windy roads and large buses making it hard to maneuver around corners. We however found it was a piece of cake, maybe because it’s the off season now. We didn’t see what all of the fuss was about.
The sun was out and the sky was blue, not a typical sight for Ireland. We’ve had many overcast days on this trip so far.
We stopped here and there along the way to take photos.
Around 1:30 PM we made our way into the town of Portmagee and had a bite to eat.
( Kari’s first Baileys and coffee of the trip, delish! )
After lunch we drove to Dingle. Dingle is right on the water much like Kinsale. Lots of sailboats. The town is bigger than Kinsale though and just about every other door in town leads to a pub.
Tomorrow we will explore Dingle a little more and check out Slea Head drive, a loop around the Dingle peninsula.
