Ring
of Kerry - Ireland - 2014
The Ring of Kerry is a 180km-long circular tourist route in County Kerry, south-western Ireland.
Looking across the water to Dingle Peninsula.
The remains of Daniel O'Connell's boyhood house at Cahirciveen.
He campaigned for the rights of Catholics and in 1828 was the first Catholic to be elected to the British Parliament.
He was a leader in the struggle to get the law changed to allow other religions beside Protestants to build churches in Ireland.
On to town of Waterville.
The first successful transatlantic cable was finally laid after a number of attempts in 1865 by the Anglo American Telegraph Company
between Heart's Content in Newfoundland and Labrador and Valentia Island near Waterville.
The cable station brought much activity to Waterville and increased the town's size.
We had lunch at a pleasant restaurant overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
A last look at Killarney Lakes from Moll's Gap.
