Neptune's Hostel, Killarney






So thanks to the wonderful Colm who got us to Killarney in one piece despite being as sick as 14 small hospitals (and is also general manager of BK2 bar in Cork I might add!), we arrived here for what was to be a very interesting and challenging day!
Mike explained our challenge to us which was to cycle from the town to Torc waterfall, climb the waterfall, walk to Torc mountain, climb to the top (we nearly got blown off!) and swim in a lake on the way back!! Surprisingly the swim in the lake was a welcome task when it came to doing it, as we'd built up a bit of a sweat as you can probably imagine! :D
When we arrived back at the hostel, we were given the ingredients to make our dinner - a lovely spanish omelette...and a bottle of wine which was much appreciated! Tiredness got the better of us after that and we decided to head to bed so we'd be fresh for the next day's challenges.
Now we're off to Kenmare for another adventure, and are currently in the process of making a sign to bring hitch hiking in the hope someone will take pity on us!!
Until next time,
Slan!
