A short distance outside Cork is Blarney Castle with its famous stone, said to impart the gift of eloquence on all who kiss it. But today was meant for driving around the breathtaking Iveragh Peninsula, better known as the ‘Ring of Kerry’, traveling through Sneem, Waterville, Cahirciveen and Killorglin, towards Killarney. The drive took longer than we thought it would so we cut Limerick (of poetic fame) from our itinerary, hopped on a car ferry and headed north to ensure we would see the breathtaking 200 meter-high Cliffs of Moher. Then we enjoyed the drive through the bare limestone hills of the Burren to Galway, where tradition holds that Columbus prayed before sailing to America. We ate at our favorite restaurant on the trip in Clarinbridge: Paddy Burkes. Check out pictures here, here and here.
