Killarney

It started to rain as I arrived into Killarney, but I could tell it was a touristy, but nice town.    2014

If you wondered where Buddhists have their conferences. Here's your answer.     2014

I had another Guinness here after I checked in at my B & B.      2014

Many of your Irish pubs are also also a Bed & Breakfast so you don't have to worry about getting home.      2014

Some Irish are big gamblers. Most towns have a Bookmaker and they are really into the horses.   2014

This is a view of the lakes of Killarney from a very high point above town.      2014

Killarney National Park

This is Ross Castle in the Killarney National Park.      2014

There are guys that will take you out for a boat ride on the lake, I was here early.       2014

I saw this sign near my hotel and I found out what jaunting cars were.       2014

The jaunting cars (horse carriages) took you to Ross Castle and the Killarney lakes of the park.

Jaunting cars hold one driver and two passengers.     2014

They also had larger wagons for larger groups.     2014 

The Muckross House is also park of the National Park.      2014

Another side of the Muckross House.      2014

The grounds of the Muckross House are beautiful.      2014

 

A great place to find Leprechauns?  maybe?       2014

Not far from the Jaunting Cars was Torc Waterfalls so I stopped. As soon as I opened the car door I could here the roar of a serious waterfall. But the best part of the stop was the walk up to the falls. Everything was covered in green except the walking path. It was surreal.     2014

A close-up of the green moss that covered everything near the waterfall.      2014

The waterfall was very impressive and made quite a roar.      2014

I did expect to see some Leprechauns here any minute.       2014

From some of the higher points of the park, you could see some of the lakes.      2014

They had some pull off points in the park route, but they are usually, only big enough for one car. By the way, this drive is not for the unskilled driver, in fact it's the scariest location I have ever driven in. By the way driving on the left is a piece of cake after a few hours behind the wheel.     2014

There were plenty of waterfalls and raging rivers on this 20 mile drive through the park.       2014

The sheep were grazing right next to the road and the mom let me pet one of the lambs. They are so cute.   2014

It was a pretty drive through the park.

 Billie goats were grazing on the roadside. No fences.    2014

 This was close to the end of the National park drive.       2014
