Phil's college friend Jane (who lives in Kerry) booked us a
fabulous cottage. We eventually found it at 2am and settled into the ground floor -
we didn't need the other three bedrooms! Toby liked the taste of the doormat so we had to
do some creative trimming! Benson and
Toby settled very quickly in the grounds and Toby loved to paddle in the stream and then
walk through the house, muddy paws and all. Both dogs discovered the joy of chasing cats
as every time we returned home there would be a couple waiting for us. Within about 10
seconds the dogs had chased them away.
The fantastic scenery, the national park, and the
beaches lent themselves to long walks with the dogs and long drives exploring the
peninsulas.
We drove around the famous Ring of Kerry, avoiding the
coach loads of American tourists where possible. |
