Today we head off from Killarney Royal
Hotel to the “Ring of Kerry”. The
weather is inclement when we depart but very soon lifts to reveal beautiful
blue skies. The Ring of Kerry is a drive
through the national parklands along the coastline. The scenery is quite beautiful, wild and
untamed.
We stop at a little town called Sneem but
most shops are closed. On to Muckross
House where we take the tour of the house – very lovely and quite a history of
tenants but finally bequeathed to the people. Beautiful gardens. We also stop at Torc Falls.
We finally make our way to Cork to Hayfield
Manor. On the way the people from
Waterford, where we are meant to be staying, ring to cancel our booking due to
unforeseen circumstances but when we arrive at Hayfield we decide to spend two
nights here, it’s so lovely.
We dine in their ‘fine dining’ restaurant
and my first course is scallops with “black pudding”! And yes, I did eat it J
