Our jaunting car ride...

Our jaunting car ride through Killarney National Park was wonderful, not only because the scenery also because the McCarthy’s jarvey and the horse Molly made our ride special. We learned about the history of the park and many interesting things. It was great and I highly recommended.

Pleasant ride into Killarney National Park.

Damien was our guide for this lovely ride into the Killarney National Forest. He took the time to text and let me know that he was running late. His dad invited us into the Inn while we awaited his arrival. Once we got going, we enjoyed a leisurely ride to Muckross Abbey. We were able to explore the ruins for about 20 minutes before heading back into town. Damien kindly dropped us off next to our hotel. I would have loved to have seen a bit more of the National park. Still, what we did see we thoroughly enjoyed.
