Killarney Day 2

The next day we took a shortened version of the Ring of Kerry route. After Kenmare we turned at Sneem to take the mountain road to the Gap of Dunloe. On the way we passed close to Lough Brin. Unfortunately we did not have time to see it, so I can not confirm if the monster exists or not. Here is a link if you want to know more about the creature http://www.mysteryanimalsofireland.com/LKerry.htm
In spite of it's hundreds of thousands of yearly visitors the Gap of Dunloe still retains its rugged beauty. Even the town of Killarney has managed to avoid too much of the "plastic Paddy" disease. One unforseen incident did occur during our stay here. On our visit to the Torc waterfall a real leprechaun was seen. However I believe most people thought he was just some guy dressed up in a leprechaun suit. That is the great thing about such myths,even if he had a pot of gold coins and started counting them, everyone would still think it was someone playing a joke,lol. We spent the night in Killarney again.
