Another rainy morning finds us on a 2 hour drive to Muckross Manor House and Castle Ross, in Killarney, County Kerry.
This finishes off the southern half of the island. We have visited 13 of the 33 counties, with at least 12 more definite, in just over a week.
Once in Killarney, we arrived at the Castle Ross and walked up the hill to it. Everything on this island is uphill.
All tours are by guide, and the next available wasn’t for about 2 hours, so we browsed around outside and then decided to head over to the Muckross house until the tour was ready.
At the Muckross house, there was a tour shortly available, but we already paid for the other. We would have to jump back and forth. Oh well.
We walked the gardens for a bit before heading for the castle tour.
They didn’t allow photos inside the castle, but I took one quick one at the end. What where they going to do? Throw us out, we were leaving anyway.
It sucks a bit, this was the first castle that had decent windows for lighting, but couldn’t take photos. Plus it was really nice inside.
Going back to Muckross, we find that they were sold out of tours for the day. With the rain picking up again, we called it quits for the day, not arriving back until almost 8pm.
Long day for so little done.
