Walk to Killarney

The morning started with soft rain, the sort you cannot see or feel but soaks you anyway. It dried up later so we walked into Killarney. It's a  pleasant touristy town with lots of bars, an imposing catholic cathedral and a friary. Not to mention a fleet of jaunting carriages to wisk you off to the nearby attractions in the park. It was the weekend of The Rally of the Lakes so lots of noisy boy racers in town and various road closures in the national park. We tried to walk thru the Killarney House gardens but they were closed due to the damage from fallen trees in a big storm a few  weeks ago.  We walked about 5 miles overall and I got the satellite recriver working when we got back in the evening.
