County Kerry




From Annascaul to Killarney...

We stopped at a lake and Mike told us where the name Annascaul comes from. As the story goes, a girl called Scaul (Abhainn an Scáil) and her two sisters were playing in the fields when they saw some soldiers approaching. Scaul sent her two sisters running to safety, and swam out into the middle of the lake to distract the soldiers. (Odd choice in my opinion, but that's how it goes). The soldiers shot her from the shore, and ever since it's been named after her. Translates to Scáil's River.




Got taken around the National Park by horse and carriage. Charming, but just made me miss being on horseback. Anyway. Here's a picture of its feet.








Hmmm beautiful. Sorry it's a lot of photos and no information right now, but I have to upload the pictures before I leave England, can catch up on the writing anytime.
