Evie in Ireland, Part 4 (5/11)

Day 6: Killarney
 Today we woke up earl, rented bikes at the bike shop next door, and rode through Killarney National Park. I had a nice long nap along the way.  Halfway through, we stopped for snacks - scones with cream and raspberry jam. Yum! After the long ride we relaxed in the afternoon and shared a couple pints while enjoying the sunshine. We realized that we needed a replacement gas canister for heating the van and spent an hour and a half looking for one, only to find out that the one place in town that sold them closed 15 minutes prior to our arrival. Later, we headed into town and had a lovely Irish meal for dinner. 



Pure joy

I love to ride my bicycle, I love to ride my bike...
