Todays post is written by Paula Roady-
The morning started bright and early with a quick breakfast. We got on the bus to go to Dingle -but wait our troop leader Rose was missing. Rumor has it she contracted the swine flu from eating a large pork chop the night before or maybe it was that bottle of wine or Irish coffee??? Our driver for the tour, John, possibly related to the fellow who was giving the Crypt tours, did a very nice job, including Irish music. We saw Dingle Bay and Tralee Bay by way of the Slea Head. We only stopped 45 minutes for lunch but some of us managed to do some major damage shopping in that short of time. Stopping along the way for a small hike thru a beautiful fuchsia lined lane to admire the tiny Gallarus Oratory. Back to Killarney, we then set out on foot to tour the two beautiful cathedrals in town. Later that day we found Lisa and Margaret having wine in front of the local pub. Rose, Cris and Paula took a horse drawn carriage ride through the Killarney National Park to Ross castle. A leprechaun sighting was reported but it seems like he was too tired to come home with anybody!
Everyone went their separate ways for dinner and we ended up at Hannigan's Pub next door to the hotel. After dinner we walked the town and then we all hit the sack cause we have an early morning departure to the west coast of Ireland and the city of Galway.
