I'm probably less than five hundred meters away from the castle. I can't see it right now but here is the dilemma. How do I get there? That appears about as far as I can go unless of course I can magically find a pair of rain-boots or a canoe. My second effort is about to be rewarded. I'm not making it all of the way to the castle but it appears that I'll be able to get a view from it from across this lake slash pond. Where there is a will there is a way. It appears this third time may be the charm. And I have a feeling that I'm getting close to the castle because I've just got into town. I've taken the third path over.
And if I'm right I'll actually be able to visit it. Open to the public Ross Castle built in the 15th Century is situated on the edge of Killarney's lower lake. Visiting its grounds is the perfect ending to a walk in Killarney National Park. In terms of nearby attractions it was definitely my favorite. I often find when traveling you have these unexpected days. You have these days where you lose your sweater and you try to reach somewhere and it doesn't work the first time or the second time and maybe not even the third time. Luckily it did for me the third time. But anyway this is the kind of adventure that really make traveling interesting for me. I like that days are varied and that you never know what is going to happen. So I'm going to finish off this adventure with a river-walk back to the hotel. Well good morning from Northern Ireland and today is a road-trip day. We're actually leaving Belfast behind and we're going to be driving the Causeway Coastal route and exploring the coast visiting some of the major attractions along there. One of them is Giant's Causeway and from there we'll see what else we find. I know there is a distillery, maybe visit some parks. Yeah, sounds awesome. And we've been waiting to do this for a really long time. For us, this is what the real road trip in Ireland looks like. So let's hit the road. Yeah! So the weather has been quite unpredictable. We had blue skies when we left Belfast less than an hour ago and up ahead we are seeing some grey storm clouds. So we'll see what happens when we actually reach the coast. Hopefully we won't be needing umbrellas or rain ponchos. This is Ireland, you've got to dress for all occasions. Oh, yeah. So it's almost lunchtime and we've been taking a lot of detours. We still haven't reached Giant's Causeway but we've reached a little town called Ballycastle. So we're going to stop here and have some lunch. Cozy by the fireplace are we. Yeah, just warming up by the fire with a pint of Guinness. I couldn't be anymore relaxed. So our food has arrived. I have a tomato basil soup. And Sam. I have a feeling someone is going to have food envy. I think I am. Look at. That giant fish and chips. Are you going to share? No. What? You're not going to share with wifey?
