After waking up super early in Killarney, we had a quick breakfast before Frob celebrated mass outdoors at the local castle. (Cool!). It was a beautiful morning, the sky was blue, the mountains reflected in the water next to the castle and it was a peaceful place overall.
Frob celebrating mass (not a picnic):
After, we started our long journey from Killarney to Dublin. We made a couple stops during the way, but even then it was exhausting just being on the bus. It became especially difficult with the peaceful tin whistle music Con played for us on the ride. (I slept most of the way, along with 75% of everyone else).
We stopped first at the Dunbrody memorial and visitors center, where we ate lunch and enjoyed the view. Much of the museum is dedicated to our own JFK, since his family emigrated from the county that now houses this museum. It was a lovely place, and I'm happy to have visited.
Dunbrody was a cute little town with bunch of visitors. I enjoyed myself and the view if the pirate ship!
After more driving we off
To st. Kevin's monastic settlement. Simply gorgeous.

Then it was off to a very "active" haunted jail in Wicklow. I'm too tired to explain now, but it's certainly a story for another day.
Then we had dinner at an Italian restaurant across the street, which was
quite nice. Then bed.
One more full day of Ireland...then back home we go!
