October 7, 2015.
Driving through the barren Ballighbeama Gap to Killarney National Park, our first stop in the park was Muckross Abbey.
This was followed by a walk (and drive) on the wilder side of the park.

Green and more green.

Oh, wow, love this! I was briefly there on a car rally in the pouring rain in the’90s, so saw none of this!
Pouring rain is apparently a big part of Irish experience although we seemed to have hit the country during an amazingly dry October – I purchased a pair of rain pants especially so I could tramp around in the rain and never got to wear them. It looks as if Ireland hasn’t got caught up in the hot weather that’s attacking most of the northern hemisphere this summer so it might be time to go back and bring those rain pants with me!
Teehee!
I completely adore these – didn’t go there this spring. Wish I had – but your shots are wonderful!
I was astonished at how much there is to see in Ireland – we had 30 days and covered only the coastline of the countries, from Dublin up to the north and then along the Wild Atlantic Way to Kilkenny.
And that is what we have left for next time!
I’m just trying to finish my posts for a friend who is going there next month and find myself astonished at how much we missed (and the places we’d go back to!)
