Tuesday - 09/20/2011 - Muckross House in Killarney

Today was more of a leisure day. Breakfast was not until 8:00.
At 10:00 we had several horse-drawn carriages pick us up at the hotel and start us on our trip through Killarney National Park. It was a little cool, but the sun was starting to shine.
After about a half-hour ride we transferred to several open-air boats. The boats held about 12 people each. We were motored across two lakes for about an hour. we were dropped off at a mansion named Muckross House - you may have seen it on the Rick Steve's travel shows on the PBS Create channel.
The tour of the house took about 1 1/2 hours. Then back to the hotel by coach.
Right now we are taking a short break before walking around town to maybe do some shopping but definitely to find a place for our dinner.
