Ireland, day 8

We start the day with a visit at Muckross House close to Killarney. This mansion was built in 1843 in Tudor style. No photos allowed of the inside so you have to do it with the rather sombre outside.

It is situated on a huge estate with views over mountains and lakes.

We make a tour over the Ring of Kerry, a beautiful road over the penunsila Iveragh with stunning nature.

And also here the Irish make music along the road, here with our bus driver Tommy.

Unfortunately the weather turns into bad rain but hubby SC is anyway making a photo of a statue on top of a mountain. I stayed in the bus.

The weather improves when we reach the "Ladies View" point, so called after Queen Victoria and her maid of honor on a visit here, who said this was the most beautiful view they had seen in Ireland.

So we decided to have a photo of the ladies of our group in front of the "Ladies view".

And we couldn't stay behind to catch the men.

  9. Wat een geweldige reis en wat een mooi land. Ik heb even naar beneden gescrolled en als je prachtige en leuke foto,s bekeken. Een hoop meer vrouwen dan mannen in de groep en de foto met de violist op een touwtje met van die heerlijk ouderwetse sokophouders vond ik zo leuk ook omdat het meeste publiek gewoon doorliep

  13. Dearest Marianne,
    Beautiful scenery despite the on and off rainy weather which is so typical for Ireland. But when dressed properly that is no problem. You made the most of it and show us lovely photos and with some humor too.
    Hugs,
    Mariette

  14. The views are stunning. Doesn't it make you mad when photography isn't allowed. I would have stayed in the bus too.
