Wet sock

Hello folks! 
The girls arrived in Killarney on sat and after dumping their bags at the hostel, proceeded to explore the town. It didn't take long as it is in fact a town, not a city which was nice for a change. After checking out the shops and going for a brief walk in the national park, they then hopped on a tour bus (on which they were the only people under 60) which took them to see some of the sights including the lakes, Kate Kearneys cottage (supposedly the most beautiful woman in Ireland), Mucross house, and a waterfall. Everything in the area is gorgeous, but the girls liked the waterfall in particular. Cari liked it so much that she slipped and got a booter while trying to get a picture, and so spent the rest of the evening with a wet sock and shoe. 
Back in the town the tried to seek oh some inexpensive dinner, which was difficult as Killarney is clearly a tourist town and even their usual fallback of pub food was not cheap. Eventually the found a cute little restaurant and so had dinner, watched a movie at the hostel and headed for bed.
This morning they had to check out of their rooms at 10 but, being Sunday, the trains did not run very often and no shops were open so they proceeded to kill time in the hostel lounge until it was time to begin the long journey north. Two trains, a bus, another train (on which they were serenaded by celebrating football fans) and a taxi ride later they arrived at  their next hostel in Belfast. After a nice relaxing cup of tea and some pleasant conversation with their Ecuadorian and Australian roomates, they girls are headed for bed so they can get up tomorrow and see what Belfast has to offer.

Cheers,
Tim
