Ross Castle
Ross Castle sits on the edge of Killarney’s lower lake and was built by O’Donoghue Mór in the 15th century. The Castle came into the hands of the Brownes who became the Earls of Kenmare and owned an extensive portion of the lands that are now part of Killarney National Park . Legend has it that O’Donoghue still exists in a deep slumber under the waters of Lough Leane. On the first morning of May every seven years he rises from the lake on his magnificent white horse and circles the lake. Anyone catching a glimpse of him is said to be assured of good fortune for the rest of their lives. The large rock at the entrance to the bay is known as O’Donoghue’s prison. Ross Castle was the last stronghold in Munster to hold out against Cromwell. It was eventually taken by General Ludlow in 1652.

This feels soooo good! This is one of my favourite techniques from the world of structural integration (of which I have many). The eccentric contraction of the muscles along the side of the spine combined with the slow, deep pressure helps to not only free up restrictions but can also give you sensory feedback to move into parts of your spine that don`t move so freely. We all have parts of the spine that we have blind spots to, for many athletes it`s the lumbar spine (low back) to which they struggle with going into flexion because many are stuck in extension, this helps to free up the soft tissue around the low back so that the spine is able to explore those ranges of motion more easily. This technique is not only good for athletes though everyone can benefit from a spine that is able to move more freely.
We just drove through the Gap of Dunloe (magical!!), the Black Valley, Moll`s Gap and we are currently at the Dog Friendly, Dinis Cafe, in Muckross.
This is a beautiful stop off for walkers/cyclists, plus there`s a water station and treats for our canine companions too!
* Another lucky find! *

"Not all who wander are lost." Exploring the stunning Killarney National Park and hiked the long way to Torc Waterfall. We went hiking up huge hills only to later discover that there was a parking lot right near the waterfall. 🙈 Oh well, exercise is good!
This sweater is from theshirekillarney - a huge thank you to them for hosting the 2nd #WeekendWanderlust party during #TBEXIreland. Amazing Lord of the Rings themed bar, awesome beer & food, plus the live music was excellent! Check out my stories for more details ✌

Torc Waterfall
Another beautiful waterfall..this time in Ireland. Along the Ring of Kerry near Killarney is Torc waterfall.
According to legend the waterfall was created by a man who had been cursed by the Devil to spend each night transformed into a wild boar (or a wolf in other versions). After being found out he burst into flame, jumps into a lake which then creates the waterfall.
Totally makes sense. Slainte.
This is my first trip to Ireland. After a plane, two taxis, and a bus, this was my view from the theeuropehotelandresort looking at the lakes of Killarney. It was worth it.⠀

Touring Muckross House in Killarney, Ireland with kidsareatrip and we3travel. The family who built the hunting lodge spent their fortune and six years preparing to host Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in hopes of securing a knighthood. Prince Albert died two months after their visit, and no knighthood was granted since the Queen went into deep mourning. But they sure enjoyed magnificent views of the lakes in Killarney.⠀
