The Ring of Kerry

So Friday was the start of our first group weekend. All day friday we're took a bus (or as they call it a "Coach Tour") of the Ring Of Kerry. 

The Ring of Kerry (or Iveragh Peninsula to give it its correct name) is a tourist trail and part of the mystical & unspoilt region of Ireland that has attracted visitors for hundreds of years. Its spectacular beauty is beyond question and it is a natural centre for outdoor pursuits that include golf, watersports, cycling, walking, running, riding and the very best fishing in freshwater rivers for salmon & trout and at sea for bass, ray, pollack, conger eel, cod, flounder, wrasse, mullet, mackerel and tuna.

The Ring of Kerry has some of the Europe's finest beaches (See Rossbeigh in the Ross-Maine area) that provide all the facilities for a traditional seaside holiday. Above all, the Ring of Kerry provides an amazing insight into the ancient heritage of Ireland - see the Iron Age Forts & Ogham Stones, Old Monasteries and a landscape carved out of rock by the last Ice Age 10,000 years ago. Visitors to Ireland should not miss a trip to the beautiful Ring of Kerry.

 

Lets just say it was a very, very long day. This trip was a 9 hour bus ride. But we did stop like 6 times so it wasn't that bad. What made that treacherous ride worth it was the absolutely gorgeous scenery! I mean some (most) spots were breath taking.
