Ireland: Day 4

Day 4 in Ireland was spent in Killarney National Park. It started with a morning hike up the Gap of Dunloe. This is another place the guidebooks warn you about. The books say the road isn't for cars, that there are pony & traps bumper to bumper on it, and only fools walk it. Well, along my hike up to the top of the pass and back, I saw several cars, only two traps, and plenty of walkers, lots of emptiness, and one show off of a lamb.

To prove my point, after I got back to the car, I drove back up the pass and down the other side. This was a good decision since it led to some beautiful and remote scenery.

Next was to the main part of the park to see Killarney House, the lake, and the waterfall.
