Our last day in killarney..

We started off our day and headed out to breakfast..,I am not sure what time breakfast starts in Ireland but definitely not early enought for us..after wandering a bit we finally found a place that opened at 900am.  We had a quick breakfast we were off to find a cab to finish our touring of Killarney.  The cab dropped us off at Muckross house..where we were just in time for the tour of the house.  We had a great tour and learned all about the house and who lived there.  The house has 65 rooms, 25 of which are bedrooms.  We were able to see about 1/3 of the house on the tour.  It was quite Downton Abbey..maybe not quite as large but close.  We saw the hall of bells to call the servants, the kitchen and many of the main rooms.

The house was on a beautiful piece of land on the lake and also had beautiful gardens.  It felt like being thrown back into old times as the horse and carriage rode around the lake.

We called for the cab to collect us once we were done and on the way back to town we made a quick stop at Torc Waterfalls.  Sue and Scott were both very adventurous  climbing down Into the falls...we have some great pictures.

We were dropped off at the house and the afternoon was free time..nothing planned...what to do?    We all went our own way to finish up shopping and explore the town one last time.  The town is not very large and we all bumped into each other at some point.  Just as Wayne and I had decided it was time for a pub stop we ran into Scott and Maureen and we all headed off for a Pint.  We started at the laurels pub.. And pub crawled our way back to the house.  We showed up back at the house about 3 hours and 4-5 pubs later.  Needless to say a little feisty.  We gathered the rest of the group and headed out for dinner. We went to a very casual fish and chip place called Quinlan's.  We had to  split up and sit boys at one at one at table and girls at another..the Girls were sure to send our chek to the boys table.

On the way back to the house we stopped for a street performer who was very good and entertaining.

We headed back to the house to pack up for our early departure the next morning.
