Commentary

(Summary blog only.   Last full blog was Day 0368).

Drove down to Killarney Castlerosse Hotel for a couple of days away with the DWC.  Straightforward drive – took about 4½ hours.

Stopped off at the Obama Plaza service station near Limerick midway.

Early dinner at 6:15pm.   Some familiar spots along the route from our last drive down here – family camping holiday in 2009
