Our brief stint in Northern Ireland was over and so we moved onto almost the complete opposite corner of the country with a brief drive through Belfast along the way. Our navigation skills improved greatly. We didn’t make any wrong turns heading onto the dual carriage ways and made good time into Belfast. Since we had to cancel our black taxi tour due to the aforementioned car rental issues we decided to stop and see the wall that divided the Catholics and Protestants on our own. We should’ve left this sight seeing to the professionals. It would’ve been far better to hear real stories about what this wall actually meant to people of Belfast. It was impressive to see, but would’ve been better with stories. After snapping a few pictures we got back on the highway and continued to Kerry.
We made it in okay time although apparently could’ve done much better if we’d not taken an unintentional detour through the mountains past Tralee. Our cottage in Kerry was gorgeous! The kitchen alone would’ve kept me there forever. We found out later that Nick and Annie bought the property and built the cottages themselves. They had sheep and donkeys on their property. The view out the back window was the fourth largest mountain in Ireland. Another great success from vrbo.com.

| This place was slightly larger than the last one. By slightly I mean about 3 times the size. |

| The girls LOVED black pudding. Dan and I thought it was like goetta with sheeps blood. |

| The view from the kitchen wasn't so shabby. |

| Absolutely stunning mountains in back of the cottage. |
