Day 4

We started out at the reasonable hour of 9:50 AM  with a short bus ride to Ross Castle  where joined out boatman Dennis for a ride across three lakes in an open boat. The lakes are Lough Leane, Muckross and Upper Lake  as well as Long Range River. We were prepared for chill and rain, but it was not very cold and the rain stayed away.  After lunch at Lord Brandon’s Cottage we mounted our horse drawn carriage – Jaunting Cart – through Gap of Dunloe to  Kate Kearney’s Cottage. Irish Coffee for all, yum! these carriages were two wheeled, lighter for going over the pass. 

Tonight National Folk Theater Performance and dinner at pub. It was a superb show, the Dance and music was set into the form of a play with plenty of good humor.
