Killarney and the Gap of Dunloe with Private Driver/Chauffeur

One of the buses on their way to the Gap of Dunloe.
A typical horse-drawn carriage waiting to carry its passengers up through the Gap.

All wrapped up in their warm clothing and life jackets.
Carolyn and Joe, glad to be back, but it was well worth the effort.

The Gap of Dunloe tour is a spectacular journey which starts in Killarney and ends back in Killarney after a journey which involves the horse drawn carriages on the narrow roads up through the Gap in the Kerry mountains and ends with an open boat ride down through three of Killarney's lakes ending at Ross castle on Lough Leane.The hardest bit of making this journey today was making the decision as to whether or not to undertake the trip, as there was a forecast for gale force winds and rain for sometime today. Joe and Carolyn were determined to have a go and i was not going to stand in their way and off they went. As it turned out it was wild and sometimes wet also but they completed the journey and i know that this particular day will live long in their memories of Ireland and their time with me. I can only say that they were great adventurers and deserve a medal each.
Tonight we went for an Italian meal in Robertino's in Killarney and it was really good. Joe, being an expert on Italian food, was high in his praise for this place and i can recommend it to anybody coming to Killarney who likes Italian food. Tonight we are expecting the worst of this hurricane, which is the tail-end of hurricane Katia which hit the East coast of America recently. Tomorrow is forecast bad also so we will have to see what it is like before we decide on our destination. I will let you know when the time comes so come back soon.
