See the pretty red flower in the one above and the moustache on the one below!
Through thickly forested Killarney National Park where gnomes and faerie folk frolic in the dappled sunlight and water sprays - with trolls spying from under the bridge.
Up, up, up the hill we went, to Ladies View, so called after Elizabeth's ladies-in-waiting were taken there whilst she was on tour.
The Ladies at Ladies View
After a quick picnic lunch we drove on through such quaint villages like Kenmare and Bantry with a mountain top view overlooking Bantry Bay. The mountains held a sparkling lake right up at the top in one of many shallow vale's. One of our stops was at Druids View with the Druid (carved from a single solid piece of wood) overlooking the exquisite valley.
Our next stop was at sneaky Gollums corner with all sorts of sculptured creatures hiding in nooks and crannies.
Onwards through three rock carved tunnels just hewn over the road...
...and so to home for drinks at An Brog, and yes it sounds as bad as it looks, with dilapidated chairs, tables and even church pews for furniture. To match the shabby look of An Brog, we continued in the same frame and got Hillbilly's Chicken for dinner!!
(Mum and I had had a walk around Cork city earlier, through stinky meat and fish English Market and around impressivly high St Finnbar Cathedral).
