It was cold rainy and windy our week in Ireland..if that is summer id hate to see winter. I read…read moremuch debate over tours or renting a car. We rented a car and the driving especially a ring of kerry was scary. Highly recommend you do much research of what stops are worth doing. I liked 3 ladies stop and torc falls. Definitely wear non slippery comfortable shoes. Liked the abbey ruins and quick look outside formal house near the ruins. It was cold windy and miserable so boat trips were not of interest. Kerry cliffs are gorgeous but be prepared for the wind ..chin straps on hats are a must. Biggest disappointment was the rock circle .. that was waste of time. We took drinks and snacks but there are a few towns to stop and eat. Getting ice in Europe is Tricky... but we took a small collapsible cooler. Their cheese is nice so might pack cheese slicer and crackers. Hope you can do skellig ring and Dingle ... personally I don't care about castles ... Europe is covered with them but the scenery and colorful buildings . Landscape looks like green quilt.. all shades and a billion sheep.

I am in LOVE with this Library, it is small & cosy and the staff are very friendly. I have been…read morerequesting loads of books, through the library app, to be sent to the library in Castletownbere & it is such a great service. So, I moved back home, to Ireland, in July 2021 and I missed reading so much, I started to buy books, read them and then pass them on. Recently, I was in my local city, walked by the library & decided to join, I wish that I had joined the library sooner. It is such a great service and I think everyone should avail of it. People can request books in any library or through the app and the book will be delivered as soon as it is available, a text or email will be sent out to you. They have such a variety of books, it is great. I highly recommend this library
