Another fun day today. Kind of foggy and humid at first but by noon it had cleared up and stayed around plus 16 or 17 all day. Lovely weather for wandering and walking!
Took a coach from the bus station in Limerick to Killarney today. It took two hours but saw Lots of small towns, some lush green hills and lots of sheep and cattle along the way. We have learned that “an express bus” simply means that you still stop at all the small towns, and there are lots of them, but you travel on a motorway (highway) in between the towns!!
After getting in at the bus station, we had a bite to eat and then figured out how to get to our next accommodation. Took a cab and checked in. Park Place Apartments is a building managed by a company who rents out the suites. Our apartment has two bedrooms and two bathrooms, laundry in the suite and the usual fridge, stove, etc. Very very handy to the charming downtown area. Small narrow streets with tons of shops and pubs. We grabbed some groceries for our breakfasts and then returned to our digs to book some tours for the next couple of days. Had a small rest and then headed out to stretch our legs in Killarney National Park. Lots of walking trails along the river. Ended up back downtown at a pub for a drink and to listen to some live traditional Irish music until 8:30 and then for chowder and fish cakes before heading back to the apartment.
Made some calls home and sent some emails and now we are all off to bed to get ready for tomorrow!!
Hope everyone reading this is well!! Lots of love from the Barter’s and The Findlay’s! 🥰🥰
