Southwest Coast Beauty


May 31, 2012

Our next overnight was Killarney. 3 hours to the east/north of Kilkenny, but we took our time getting them driving south from Kilkenny, skirting around Cork, then down to the southern seaside areas.  We had lunch in the small harbor town of Balitmore which is a yachting/sailing holiday destination for the Irish, then made our way up the southwestern coast and the Caha Mountains.  This part of Ireland has a rugged wild beauty to it, the best scenary so far.  Killarney was a fun city; if you ever get there, have dinner at The Smoke House.  It specializes in fresh local seafood.  We had the monkfish (Fish to Share) and it was SO good!
