Killarney - What a GREAT Town!!!
This past weekend Ali and I went to Killarney. Our weekend in Killarney was my most fun and exciting weekend that I have had thus far in Ireland. We got to Killarney Friday evening around 6:30. We found our B&B, dropped off our stuff and went to dinner. We found this really cute place called the Danny Mann Pub & Restaurant. It had traditional Irish music and a very irish feel to it. We ate fish and chips there and stayed for a few pints.

On Saturday we boarded the bus for our Ring of Kerry Tour at 10:30am. The bus was packed, but it was still nice. Again, we could not have asked for better weather. On Friday the weather was rainy and dreary, on Saturday the sun was out, a few clouds in the sky and a few quick showers throughout the day but for the most part we can not complain about the weather. Every time that Ali and I have gone sightseeing or touring we have had great weather! The one good thing about having a few rain showers is that most of the time there is a rainbow to follow.
These pictures of the rainbows do not give them justice, but they were so beautiful and brilliant. I have not seen that bright of a rainbow in my entire life! They were gorgeous
Along our tour we stopped at a few look out points and saw some amazing views. We stopped at a beautiful River.

We saw some very beautiful mountains and lakes.
Beautiful scenery on the tour
On Saturday after our tour Ali and I did some shopping and then we headed back to our B&B. We hung out in our room and relaxed for a few hours before going out to see what Killarney had to offer. We ventured out around 8pm and we went to the Danny Mann again. We had liked the atmosphere the night before so we figured we would try there again. While sitting there we discovered a very interesting type of Scottish Whiskey.

After the Danny Mann we went to a pub that was also a hotel. This pub too had a traditional Irish band, but here people were dancing and singing around. It was very amusing and fun! We met a lot of people at this pub. There were people from Australia and also some girls who were studying in Scotland who went to UW Eau Claire. I was surprised to meet some people from Wisconsin in this small Irish pub. We talked to them for a while and they told us about a dance club that was right next door. Ali and I decided to check out the dance club. Here again we met many interesting people.
After the dance club we went to a bar called Mustang Sally's. This bar too was packed, but again very fun. Here we met some people from the US who were on an international basketball team. They were obviously very well suited for playing basketball.

We stayed at Mustang Sally's for a while until we decided it was time to go back to the B&B.
The B&B that we stayed in while in Killarney.On Sunday we were going to go shopping but did not feel up to it. It was raining and cold and we were carrying all of our bags, so we decided to head back to Listowel. I really enjoyed our time in Killarney and would go back there again if the opportunity ever arose. We had a blast!!!!
