After an enjoyable few days in the Black Valley, I left the hostel and headed west through the interior mountains of Kerry. The drive was most enjoyable. So much that I wish I had my 4runner for it instead of the rental car. It took me most of the day to get from Black Valley to Waterville, making my way through the mountains. A most enjoyable day.
After leaving the road from Black Valley, I started the climb up to Top Cross. The oldness that can be found in Ireland is just awesome.

Almost to the top of Top Cross. A fantastic drive.

Overlooking the bay from Waterville.





The ocean scares me. But I couldn’t help but walk around and take in the views. It was a beautiful day.



Evening setting in.

Walked by this fellow taking in the evening light. A musician from Galway. I thanked him for the image.

Love your blog. Saw a post back in April with some Colorful Colorado mudflaps in the 4Runner. I’ve been trying to find a set myself. Did you install them or would you part with them for $100?
Thanks for the kind words!:). A good friend of mine actually got me those mud flaps for my 4runner. Still need to install them. I don;t know where he found them. Know they are hard to come by.
