Unfortunatly it was a rainy day and we couldn’t really see too much. We had to decide wether we should drive around the Ring of  Kerry. It is one of the most beautiful coastal drives in Ireland. We did and it was nice but the views were cloudy. We had a lovely lunch at Caherdaniel which was on the beach. We continued our drive to Blarney where we are staying. We went out to the Blarney Castle Hotel for dinner. We met an Irish couple who gave us some great travel tips on where to go and where not to go next. We stayed for the music – a three piece band called Margaret McCarthy and friends. Margaret played the fiddle and sang. She even got up and did a bit of Irish dancing as well!

We saw a man with his donkey along the way.
