sunday: castleross hotel, killarney


We arrived at the impressive Castleross Hotel in Killarney at about 11.30am and immediately felt the need to enjoy our first pint of Irish Guinness (which we did) before drinking our second and third (by which time Ken, Christian and Barry had joined in the drinking).
Great to meet up with the others in such beautiful surroundings (views over a lake and with the Purple, Tomies and Torc mountains as a backdrop) - and in sunshine too!
Played nine holes of the hotel’s own golf course in the afternoon (very nice too!) before seeking more solace in the bar. A little rest followed by supper in the hotel (which seemed to be absolutely full of young children running wild – apparently thanks to a special promotional deal for the Irish Bank Holiday weekend/half-term… brilliant!) before a ridiculous putting competition under a virtual full moon just before 11pm (which SteveE won).
