Ireland 2024 – Day 6

We drove south from Cork to Baltimore Beacon. From there we continued to Mizen Head. On the way, we stopped at Altar. We got a bit odd lunch at the Mizen Head visitor center, melted tuna with crisps!

Melted tuna with crisps… A bit odd by swedish standards

The scenery was stunning with the high cliffs and the Atlantic ocean. Well worth a visit plus you get a bit of exercise in the process.

On the route towards the hotel in Killarney we past the highest situated pub in Ireland. We didn’t stop there, which we probably should have done. Given that we’ve previously have been at Tan Hill Inn, which is the highest situated pub in England. The road was narrow and in a poor state to say the least with grass growing in the middle.

You don’t want to meet a white van up here!
Some nice scenery though

After checking in at the hotel, we took a walk to the city center. The where a lot of people but after a few attempts we found a restaurant.
