Lauren and I caught the last bus to Killarney which departed Dingle at 4:00pm. We had a connection in Tralee once again, and arrived in Killarney a bit before 7pm on Saturday. Our hostel for the night, Neptune's Town Hostel was clean, convenient, and had an extremely friendly staff. We met up with some girls from UCD that night and saw some live music ( hello tin flute!) and went to a "club." We were officially 5 years older than anyone else there. Hooray mom dancing...
Ring of Kerry
After some wonderful FREE breakfast, we boarded a bus for the Ring of Kerry. South of the Dingle Peninsula, The Ring of Kerry begins at Killarney, heads around the Iveragh Peninsula and passes through Kenmare, Sneem, Waterville, Cahersiveen and Killorglin.
It can be seen in one day by bus and 3 by bike. After our cycling adventures on Saturday, we were happy for some bus time. We had an extremely friendly driver/tour guide and stopped intermittently during the 5 hour ride through the ring. Here are some of the best pictures:

We caught the 5:30 bus to Cork and easily found our hostel which was just a 5 minute walk from the bus station ( Bru Bar hostel).
The next morning, we had big plans to visit the famous English Market, but because it was a bank holiday sadly, the market was not open. However, we took full advantage of the shopping until we caught the 4pm bus back to Dublin. There were rumors of a cookie cake, so hopefully I'll get back to Cork again on a non-bank holiday.
