Colourful shops in Killarney

Killarney

Killarney is where we stayed for the next two nights. We had a very nice hotel or more of a Bed & Breakfast. Most comfortable and a fabulous cooked breakfast. We had dinner in town after checking in and then a good nights sleep ready for our Ring of Kerry tour in the morning. Day […]

Blarney Castle

Titanic Memorial Garden

Cobh and Titanic Memorial Garden

Over Night in Kilkenny, Ireland
