Sunrise

Ladies     View in Killarney National Park.
The name was given in admiration of the view
by Queen Victoria’s ladies-in-waiting
during their 1861 visit.
,





As would be the case many times today,
I pulled over to explore the sights
and take small hikes.

This stop is in Killarney National Park.





 
Derrycunnihy  Church
,


I was on a hunt for
Derrycunnihy Falls
but only found these small falls.

Happily lost in nature.

 
,

Cahernane House Hotel in Killarney.
I stayed 2 nights for a full day in between
to explore the Ring of Kerry.
Breakfast

Mountain Stage for views

Cahergal   Stone Fort

A stone fort built around 600AD.
Impressive as it was created without mortar.
You can climb up for views of the bay.

Unplanned stop.
It’s haunting!

Cahersiveen

Daniel O’Connell Catholic Church
the only one named after a lay person.

Time to get off
the Ring of Kerry
to the Skellig Ring.

No tour buses,
so the crowds thin...
...as do the roads.

 
,
Views for days and
a look at O’Shea’s Pub,
a faux-pub used in a
Guinness commercial.
Valentia    Island
,
Valentia  island
,

Colorful fishing village and
the start point to
Skellig Michael,
a rocky island with an
abandoned 7th-century
Christian monastery.

It was a place of pilgrimage
for culture lovers and is now
even more popular thanks to
Star Wars.

The town was gearing up for
the May 4th festival.

A quick 5 minute walk off the road,

feels like its in the middle of a fairy land.
