We started this morning with a “jaunty carriage” horse drawn ride throughout a park. It was gorgeous scenery with lakes, trees and deer. It was a good time, but Besnard is way more beautiful 😊. The deer were plentiful, but I also chase those scoundrels out of my garden as they eat Allen’s pumpkins so I was less than impressed with those. Their larger Irish deer are very similar to our elk as they look and sound similar. It is rutting season so the males were making all sorts of noises and being very territorial.

We stopped at a jewellery tourist trap where you were showered with Irish whiskey coffee for free and then asked to pays $100s for jewellery. We enjoyed the free whisky and found much cheaper trinkets.

The bus etiquette keeps being challenged today as there are a few “challenges” on this bus. Some lady stole our seats and didn’t think she had done anything wrong because “she needed that seat”. Oh brother. My charming Canadian persona is being challenged today. We returned to the back of the bus to hang with Ed and Carol. It is more fun back here anyway.

We continued on our journey around the Ring Of Kerry. Very picturesque scenery. Guess what we had for lunch again?? Fish and chips. This one was very good though.

We drove and stopped along the way many times for pictures and coffee and chocolate and souvenirs. We even found crepes way up high in the Irish mountains.

Today was good. We shared many laughs with our travelling buddies, especially Ed and Carol. We are having such a good trip. Tomorrow is our last fun day as we trek towards Limerick via the Moher Cliffs. It is supposed to be spectacular!
