Opel 3 day test drive

Took advantage of the Opel 3 day test drive to do a bit of sightseing around Ireland. Nicola had arrived a couple of days before to stay with us for 2 weeks.
The first day we drove the Sheep's Head Peninsula, stopping along the way to see the many castles, and other attractions. The weather on the peninsula was really foggy so we didn't get to see much on Sheep's Head.
The second day we went to the Rock of Cashel, first a fortress dating back to 370AD. The ruins of a round tower, Cormac's chapel and a rectangular castle remain. Nearby are the remains of Hore Abbey. We went a long way to Tipperary next. On the way back we found Ballyhooly where Darren's grandfather was born. A nice small town, we looked at the castle, graveyards and church ruins. We had a pint at Grindles where a framed newspaper article hung about Mick Mackey, a hurling umpire.
On the third day of our test drive we did the ring of Kerry. Went to Ross Castle this time round and took a boat over to Innisfallen Island. On the island are the remains of a monastery and church, and it's where the annals of Innisfallen were compiled. We also stopped at Ladies view, the Stague Fort, Loher Stone Fort, Ballincarberry Castle (1398) , and Cahergall Stone Fort.
Unfortunately, although the Opel Vectra went well, we decided against buying one.
