Day 35 (6th Day of Haggerty Clan)

9:00 am Today we have decided to drive the Ring of Kerry. It is a long drive around County Kerry. It normally is an amazing trip, but sadly our weather was not spectacular. We didn’t have quite the visibility you would like, but bad visibility in Ireland is still prettier than most places on earth. It’s funny, but you are told to do it counter-clockwise, so that you avoid following behind slow tour buses. That is good advice, but it does mean that every 15 minutes you are dodging buses coming at you, since like I mentioned roads can barely hold two cars, let alone a bus and a car.
1:00 pm Since we needed to use the facilities and we wanted to see a real Irish golf course, we decided to pull off and find a bathroom in the club house. We perused the prices and it wasn’t cheap. If it wasn’t so cold and rainy it probably would have been worth it, but I didn’t feel like spending my hard earned Euros to walk in the wetness.
6:00 pm We decided to get a bite at a nice pub. We get to watch the semifinal Gaelic Football match between Kerry and Cork. Kerry is always dominant at Gaelic for some reason. Their dominance continues as they make it to the finals.
8:00 pm Drive back to the room. Not a lot of funny stuff happened today since we were mostly driving and due to the weather it wasn’t near as pretty as some things we had already seen, but it was amazing. So sad that the trip is coming to an end but I also am ready to get home.
