Day Seven- more on the way to Kilarney and Kilarney nite life

Hi all,
Well I have just spent 10 minutes trying to upload more of our photos from yesterday, last night and today. I have lost patience in the process. So I will download at a internet cafe when I can.

Just quickly we are in Kilarney, here last night and today. The rain has set back in and it was a wet traveling day
SOOOO Dad this is the O'Donoghue castle in Kilarney- is this the one that should have been our home???? This is called Ross castle and was the last strong hold against Cromwell but it was leased out at the time- think I got that right. Check it out on-  http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/07/Bunrattybig.jpg 
 If not do you know where it was????



O'Donoghue's Castle in Kilarney

So we have great photos which I hope to up load on the next blog of what we have done and seen. Also it was Halloween last night so we did the fancy dress- and being as clever as we are we have dressed up as all things that our Guide Mark has told us about. So legends, myths and movies (yes the Quiet Man again) of Ireland. He was well surprised, see a few drinks the night before and we have the best idea- and we only had 2 hours to get the costumes together. At this point it would have been great to go through sister Kate's fancy dress shop- oh well we did alright with what we got.

Our first awake day in Ireland

Hi all,
 you will see a marked improvement in our well being after we slept from 3pm till 9am- catching up on that lost night sleep. As I said before we found an O'Neill and O'Donoghue pub in the say street. We had lunch at the O'Donoghue's very nice- fish and chips and bangers and mash.

This is a half pint in the O'Donoghue's pub-that's what we ordered (these look like full pints to the untrained eye)

Fish and chips and bangers and mash- sorry we were really hungry and thought we would share our joy of food.

This is my pub where we had lunch and half pints are served as full pints

This is Alison's pub only 4 shops away and we went in for a drink to play fair 

 So that is the end of our first awake day. We are on tour tomorrow so will try to get to cafe and update as we go but it maybe more spaced than this last week has been. 

Miss you all from here
