Oh My God ! What a beautiful and peaceful place is Killarney. Last month myself and my husband went to Killarney for a break. We went by our car and it gave us more liberty to get down at different places that we would like to see. From the starting of County Kerry itself was really stunning with mountains and green valleys which were brightened up by the sunshine. Through out our way we could see small small hills with white sheeps which appeared as small cotton balls moving around and eating green ,fresh grass. It was really enjoyable.

Towards afternoon we reached Killarney and saw that it is a small , but very busy town with all the tourist from different places and countries moving around. Most of the hotels were located in the town itself. All the major shops like Tesco, Pennys,Dunnes and pharmacies were present in the town. Also, Restaurants which serves Irish , Indian, Chinese,Sea food cuisines were there as well. We booked a hotel which was 2 km away from the main town to avoid the disturbances from the town. The Hotel was very good with excellent ,friendly customer service.



In the evening, we went to the Muckross House and Gardens . I liked to go by the Jaunting Car. We hired one and started our journey through the Muckross House and Gardens. The guide with us was very well describing about the history of the Muckross House and Gardens. The Gardens at Muckross were renowned world-wide for there beauty. In particular there are known for the fine collections of azaleas and rhododentrons,an extensive water garden, and an outstanding rock garden hewn out of natural limestone. We were lucky to see the colourful and beautiful flowers bloomed in the garden. Many other tourists were also there enjoying the well maintained garden. We also saw the magnificent Victorian Mansion "The Muckross House". The House was standing proudly in middle of the garden overlooking the lake. It is one of Ireland's leading stately homes. The elegantly furnished rooms inside portray the lifestyles of the landed gentry,while downstairs in the basement one can experience the working conditions of the servants employed in the House. For more information ,you can search this website http://info@muckross-house.ie. We spent our whole evening in there. It was very nice. When we came out we saw bluebells all over the pathways.They were simply beautiful. Also , got chance to see the deer in the forest nearby. The deer were resting after the whole day. We were really happy to see these beautiful things in Ireland. We thanked our Jaunting car driver who was the guide as well for the wonderful trip around Muckross House and Gardens. Also , we saw that Tina ,the Horse was also looking tired and was eager to go home. I recommend that whoever going to County Kerry should definitely visit this place. ITS BEAUTIFUL MY DEAR FRIENDS
