Chauffeurdriven tour on Ring of Kerry with Dovechauffeurdrive and Dave Hogan

The lovely Torc waterfall, just outside Killarney on the Ring of Kerry, is a most popular place for visitors to spend some time, and we did just that this morning. Today was what we call "A soft day" here in Ireland, a day when the rain is more of a mist, and the temperatures are not exactly cold. Today was such a day, and here we have our entire group, yes, me included, posing with the waterfall in the background.I am actually much taller in real life, just something wrong with the camera, or the photographer. What can i do. I still look lovely though, and Ohhh, so do the rest of them.
Here we have Peggy, pictured at the famous "Ladies View", where queen Victoria stood with her handmaidens, and declared it to be the most beautiful view in the kingdom.I think that Peggy just adds to the beauty with her lovely smile.
All the ladies together in this one, and another photo to add to their special Irish collection.
From the left we have, Ann, Peggy, Brenda, and Laurie.
Brenda, also at Ladies View, but from a different angle, looking back down towards Lord Brandon's cottage, from where the boats set out on their Gap journey down through the lakes of Killarney.
Muckross House is where Queen Victoria and her entourage stayed during their brief visit to Killarney. The ladies enjoyed the tour of this stately home today, which is now owned by the state.
I spotted this little guy hiding in this lovely cluster of flowers at Muckross. Leprechauns are not too inclined to reveal themselves during the day, but this fellow was caught unawares.
These Leprechauns are notorious pranksters and Ann and Peggy seem to be completely unaware of our jolly fellow as he sneaks in between them for this photo. There is something about Ireland that brings those lovely smiles to pretty faces.

Despite the damp day, everybody enjoyed today. Tomorrow we head for the wonderful Dingle peninsula. Come along and enjoy. Maybe have some fish and chips....and i mean real chips not those things you by in a tiny bag, i mean properly sliced chipped potatoes. (Something some people call French Fries, why i do not know, we do our own. )
See ya soon.
