Day 5- Mizen Head, Mountains, County Kerry

On Day 5, we started the day and ended the day on the beach.
We drove to the southernmost point of Ireland, Mizen Head, after a wonderful breakfast at our B&B. There were more than 20 things on the buffet and about the same number of main dishes to order. As for the southernmost point, we never made it to the spot (because Jason would not pay to be scared to death again). To get to that point, a person is required to cross over a 700ft. suspension bridge. We didn't remember this point until we were pulling out of the parking lot, and Cayce believes that Jason intentionally did not remember (This is Cayce, and I don't believe, I KNOW this was on purpose). We also stopped by this beach on the southern coast. It was a huge sandy beach, and we were able to see a sea kayaker doing his thing in the waves.


We drove up to County Kerry and through the Killarney National Park. During the drive, we were on mountain passes that, on occasion, lead through a one-lane rock tunnel. It was pretty neat, but rather scary.

We arrived at our Bed and Breakfast, which was across the street from the beach. We went down and saw a few kids playing in the waves. Mind you the temperature hasn't been above 65 since we've arrived and it is about 8pm by this point. The three kids in their wetsuits were having a great time.

While on the beach, we noticed that there were so many rocks washed up by the tide. These rocks looked like they belonged in a spa for use during a hot rock massage.

This is the front of our Bed and Breakfast for our stay in County Kerry. The rooms are described as Laura Ashley style. It was beautiful!! We had a long day of driving and are looking forward to the Ring of Kerry tomorrow.
