Day 16: Kinsale to Killarney
Omg I can see why Ireland is so green, they have 3 seasons in one day, it’s definitely not warm enough for us to experience summer. However, the fluctuations between sun and rain in seconds are mind blowing, it’s like the weather is bipolar. We walked down to the harbour after breakfast, leaving in what we thought was a beautiful sunny day and five steps later we were heading for shelter, drenched.
We took the long scenic drive from Kinsale to Killarney along the Wild Atlantic Way. It was stunning and beautiful. It’s frustrating in that there are so many things to see and so many different routes to take but this trip, like all out road trips, it’s all about the journey.
We passed through towns like Timoleague, Clondakilty, Glengariff and many more. We stopped at the beautiful beaches of Inchydoney. We visited the Mizen Head cliffs, the southern most point of Ireland. Drove over the beautiful Caha Pass, surprisingly ungreen. We had a pub lunch at Durrus, with my new favourite Irish cider, Bulmer. The drive can best be described in pictures.
Killarney is in County Kerry, in southwest Ireland. It’s a beautiful town and we wondered the busy streets after dinner, soaking up the atmosphere and listening to the live music flowing out from the local pubs.
