Hello Family & Friends:
Days 11-31: Rathmore
On April 25th Robbie and I boarded another bus for a full day tour of the Ring of Kerry.
The Ring of Kerry is a renowned 179-km (111-mile) circular scenic driving route around the Iveragh Peninsula in southwestern Ireland’s County Kerry. Beginning and ending in Killarney, the route passes through dramatic coastal landscapes, mountains, lakes, and quaint villages like Sneem and Waterville.
Bog Village
One of the first places we stopped, Bog Village, where we saw the way the Irish lived a long time ago.
The Kerry Bog Village is an open-air heritage museum located in Glenbeigh, County Kerry, Ireland, along the famous Ring of Kerry. It recreates rural Irish life in the 18th and 19th centuries through authentic, furnished thatched cottages, showing how ancestors lived during the famine era.

Much of this tour was enjoying the coastline and the beautiful rolling green hills of Ireland. The Ring of Kerry primarily follows the coastline of the Atlantic Ocean around the Iveragh Peninsula.

We stopped in the small town of Sneem to stretch our legs and enjoyed the local shops and a view of the Sneem River.
