We packed the car and T drove (with me as the turn right, but keep left reminder). We made our way in moderate rain along narrow rural roads with gushing rivers and then the motorway to Kenmare. The last leg was a bit scary with a bicyclist peddling along in the dark, in the middle of the skinny lane in front of us with oncoming traffic. We settled in and relaxed with a cozy dinner at the attached restaurant. Our room is perfect, tomorrow we will drive the Ring of Kerry, weather permitting, and it looks promising according to the weather forecast.
