Kevin and I managed to get to the airport INCREDIBLY early - but as my motto is that you can never get to the airport too early I was quite happy! We picked up the rental cars at Cork airport and headed off. Stopped for lunch at a pub in Killarney which did great food, at a great price. And as the pubs in Ireland are non smoking it was most enjoyable and meant that Nola (our mascot from Trailwalker) could run about quite happily - well be walked about happily to be technically correct.
The drive down was lovely - beautiful scenery, and the houses as well were lovely. All brightly coloured and really well maintained. Julia's theory being that as the weather is so miserable in Cork/Kerry that they have to be bright to cheer people up...
Got to Dingle where we were staying at the Dingle Bay Hotel which was lovely. Hit a slight snag when Kevin realised he had padlocked his bag, but had forgotten to bring the correct keys along... Bit of dashing around for a hacksaw until we realised that we couldn't do anything until the next morning so we went out for a drink in Murphys Pub and then on for a fish and chips dinner!
