After two nights in Dublin we picked up a rental car at Hertz and headed to far southwest Ireland to KIllarney and the Iveragh Peninsula where we spent three nights. For our first day in the area, it rained most of the time as we drove the tourist route around the Ring of Kerry, but the following day the rain let up and we were able to take a boat tour from Portmagee to the Skellig islands. We had wanted to do the landing on Skellig Michael and treck the 600 steps to the top, but unfortunately their were now spaces available.
After checking out of our hotel we spent the morning of the third day around Killarney with great weather.
