Started the day with an excellent breakfast at the B&B (eggs Benedict for me, croissant, ham, cheese and fruit for Mom), before heading to Ardfort Cathedral. We were there just before the doors opened. The gentleman manning the desk seemed so thrilled someone was waiting, me gave us a full overview of the location, with visual aids from postcards and the pamphlet that we didn't need to read anything! The Cathedral is one of for different incarnations at the same site.
Headed from there 1 km away to the Ardfort Friary, a contemporary location to the cathedral, but not a well visited site due to location. Then up to the Rattoo Round Tower, one of the most complete towers.
Then back down by Tralee again, to the Slea Head Costal drive- going by the Castlegregory beach, then on to Connor Pass road to reach Dingle and the start of the drive. Quite enjoyed the views and twisty, curvy road. Not helped by the random sheep sometimes....
(The Connor Pass road, and yes, that is one lane for both up and down)
Hit a quick stop at Inch Beach on our route to Killarney where we are tied up for the night.
(View across the bay, Skellig Michael is the hazy island at the right)
