Last night in Kenmare
After the Ring of Kerry, we walked around
Kenmare, checking out our options for dinner. We then walked up the back street
behind our hotel to the Stone Circle, an old Druid circle of stones. Very nice
but quite small. Kind of like the Stonehenge model from "This is Spinal Tap".
The rain had finally stopped.
Then, the
rain started up again as we searched for a pub that was open on a Sunday
afternoon. Most opened late, so we returned to Davitts where we had some
drinks. I had my 3rd and 4th Murphy's and Diane had her 5th and 6th
Bulmers.
We went to D'Arcy's for
dinner. Lonely Planet called it the best restaurant in town, and I believe it
is! Beautiful restored home that held a B&B as well. Diane started with a
carrot and sweet potato cream soup. She had Kerry lamb for dinner, while I had
Irish sirloin steak in a pepper sauce. We enjoyed dinner with a Chilean
cabernet. Dessert was a Wellbake apple tart for Diane and a mille feuille
crème brulée with orange and red grapefruit for me. Diane finished
this off with a Bailey's coffee.
We
walked back to Davitts and had a nightcap. A chardonnay for Diane and my second
Jameson's on ice. Wow!
