HOLIDAYS in IRELAND

Today was our day on the Ring of Kerry and what a bad day it was weatherwise. The main consolation for me was that my party never once complained, and i think we ended up having a great day. The highlight was the tour of the farms at Muckross House in Killarney, and i am sure that you will agree when you look at the photos below.

The top photo shows the view from my hotel bedroom window this morning, and above, and below, we have Ronaldo and Luis showing off the new Irish caps.

This was the sad view from Ladies View on the Ring of Kerry today. Queen Victoria would certainly not have proclaimed it the lovliest view in the Kingdom today.

Now it was Harry's turn to be trained.

Finally, on the farm bus on our way back to our car after a really lovely tour.
