Day 39 - RING OF KERRY, TO LISCANNOR BAY IN COUNTY CLARE

 Well, we woke to a day of rain and rain, thought it must get better as we go! (No it didn't so if you want to check out now we won't be offended!)






Heading to the Ring of Kerry and I must say if the day was clear and all scenery was visible it would have been spectacular, but alas the rain never gave up - it rained from the back, both sides and straight down and some of the high points around the Ring of Kerry were covered in cloud.








Took a little detour to see an ancient 2500 year-old fort near Castlecove.
 I still love Ireland (Sharon) even in this wintry phase.
Took about 3 1/2  hours on winding, narrow and bumpy roads - who needs vibrafit? Could just feel those pounds that we have added because of cooked English and Irish breakfasts just bouncing off!

 We then headed along to Tralee and onwards towards Tarbert (lunch at Listowel - this is if any of you want to consult a map)  to take the car ferry to Killimer, on to Kilrush then to Kilkee (hope you have the map and are following me and not saying where the f..k?).
Thought we should get as close as we can to the Cliffs of Moher (which we are hoping to see tomorrow by the way and you will be impressed!), so stopped at Liscannor Bay for the night to watch Coro Street only (you know whats coming!!) to find out that the weather affects the reception and YES Coro cant been seen! :-(. Well fellow followers see you tomorrow with the sun shining and a view of the sea which, by the way, the hotel people promised us in the morning! :-)  Sleep well.
