Weekend in Cork & Ring of Kerry

Yeah I know that it has been almost a week since I wrote here last time but it's just like I'm having very busy time in here -seriously, I always for a while think that 24 hours is just not enough! So this going to be a bit longer post than usual...

But what comes to last weekend, oh man what a weekend it was :)
We mixed up at this time Finnish, German, French & Dutch team and took the direction SW of Ireland, city called Cork on Friday afternoon. Because of traffic 4,5 hours in a full bus instead of three, lovely start XD

Then after a good night of sleep in hostel we headed up on morning to meeting point for Ring of Kerry departure, a trip organized by Paddy Wagon Tours, what a name indeed and you should really seen the green buses :D Ring of Kerry itself is scenery road about 180km long and it's called one of the most beautiful landscapes in Ireland. We couldn't to manage pick up abetter day for the trip since the sun was shining from a cloudless sky.

The tour had several stopping points, charming village Sneem,  Killorglin -the town of king goat, Dingle Bay view, higher points of Waterville, Killarney National Park with the ladies view over the lakes, Torc Waterfall an 18m high hidden in the forest and the town of Killarney that's more or less touristic town that still stands out the Irish life. Our guide was excellent person, while driving the bus (and street were very narrow at some point) he kept telling us about history, what to see & where, singing Irish songs etc.

After around a bit more thatn 10hour daytrip we returned to Cork and went to have some dinner & enjoying life in pub. It was a great night out, like while walking back to hostel from pub there was one man in street corner. He had mp3 player connected to active speaker and a guitar. With those he played older songs that everybody knows so suddenly people just stopped and then there was around 50 people just dancing in the street corner... Spontaneous and fun, or a good craic as Irish people would say.

Sunday was bit rainier day (what a surprise) but not that bad so we then just walked around Cork, checked how is the College over there and decided that our in Maynooth looks nicer ^^ Or saw the golden angel at St. Fin Barre's cathedral.. And it is said that the angel will blows on her horn when the apocalypse is about to start to warn people of Cork. After a day it was time to return bus trip... And yes, bus was full again but it was on time, so 3 hours instead of 4,5 hours, lovely end XD
