Our trip to Ireland ... September 2012

Day 8 ... Monday, September 24

After breakfast today, we took a bus ride.  Our first stop was at a little shop where they served Irish coffee.  Then we stopped at a facility that had sheep and sheepdogs.  There was a demonstration of how these dogs are trained to herd sheep.  It was beyond amazing.

Then it was on to the Ring of Kerry.  This is a 112-mile loop around the coast in County Kerry.  The scenery was amazing through the route.  We saw the Lakes of Killarney, Dingle Bay and the Dingle Peninsula, the Skellig Islands  and the village of Sneem/"the Knot in the Ring".  We had lunch at a restaurant overlooking Dingle Bay

Then it was back to Killarney for the evening where we wandered around town for a while.  We picked up sandwiches to eat at the hotel and finished the evening with a pint at the hotel bar.

These photos were taken in at the sheep farm, on the Ring of Kerry and in Killarney.

on to day 9
