Ireland - Kerry

Signed up for a 3 day 2 night trip to County Kerry with ESN over the weekend. The bus ride of 4 hours was torturous as expected. After surviving long traffic jams, we finally reached our hostel at Killarney at 6pm and settled down. Pub Crawl began at 8:30pm and we hanged out in several pubs before going into a night club for some dance and rock music. To be honest, pub crawl was seriously boring, but the club was quite fun since we were given the entire dancing hall to ourselves.

Day 2 - Began the day with Ring of Kerry tour. The entire trip was confusing as the tour guide was mumbling throughout and we could hardly hear what he was saying and unsure where we were exactly. The bus brought us to Killarney National Park in the afternoon where the lake and green is really spectacular. We also headed to Torc Waterfall where one of the US dude fell into the water when trying to climb the slippery rocks.

Night activity was clubbing again and it wasn't free so some of us didn't feel like going. We hanged out a bit at the pub outside the club and later strolled around town of Killarney before heading back to our hostel. Glad that it's daylight saving that night so we get to sleep an extra hour.

Day 3 - Last tour of the trip was to Rock of Cashel, which is along our way back to Dublin. There was a guide explaining to us the significance of the Cashel during war times but I could hardly understand as usual. After the visit, we strolled along the peaceful town of Cashel to have lunch before continuing our bus ride back to Dublin.

It was a fun weekend getaway which I got to know a lot of friends and living in hostel is definitely the best way for communal interactions.
