Ireland: Killarney
My Mom and I went on a holiday to Kerry in Ireland. We arrived late in the evening and had a first impression of Killarney when looking for a pub to listen to some music. Killarney is a very touristic village in the fabulous landscape of the famous Ring of Kerry, it’s very near to […]
