Locals in Schull suggested Killarney as a good stopping point on the way to Dingle so we’ve reserved a room at the Abbey Lodge for two nights.
We were reluctant to leave Schull and the Harbour House Hotel but did so this morning in a foggy mist (describes the weather rather than our state of mind!)
We enjoyed Schull and some nice hikes around the town. It’s nearing the end of the season for the fuschia hedges but we still see these lovely flowers on the roadside.
Next stop Killarney! We had no idea that our GPS has a setting for “Unpaved roads” nor did we realize that our “Unpaved road” setting was activated! Our GPS took us up a mountain path that was totally scary and too narrow for two cars should you meet another coming from the opposite direction (we did!). We turned around after several kilometers (seemed like a hundred) as it was so foggy we could barely see the road (not evident in the photo below!)
We had a good laugh about the GPS setting but not until we were back on safe turf.
We’re staying across the street from the entrance to the Killarney National Park and plan to explore there tomorrow if the weather is good!
Next stop! Dingle!
