Ring of Kerry

We spent two nights in Killarney and used our full day to drive around the Ring of Kerry. This is a tourist route that takes you partly through towns, mountains and along coastal roads. We spent 7 and a half hours traveling around the ring and we only stopped in about half of the places you can. The scenery was amazing, we knew it was going to be a good day when this was one of the first things we saw...
Snow at the beginning of the Ring of Kerry drive
We saw a few ruins, lots of snow, went on a couple of walks to some look-outs, did a lot of driving, had scones with jam and cream, saw some more snow and had some trouble driving on the ice. It was a freezing cold but amazing day. The scenery covered in a light dusting of snow was one of the most incredible things i have seen on this trip (and i know i keep saying this but each time it's true).
Snow (technically this is probably ice) on the walk to the ruined castle you can see
A poor horse in the icy paddock
Ewen skipping stones
A lake just before sunset
We took over 200 photos on this day so it was really difficult to select only a couple to put up here.
