Nobody to greet at the start, just followed other people to minibus, fortunately it was the correct tour, not the advertised old fashioned bus just an everyday minibus, this did not set high hopes for the remainder of the trip, however on reaching the jaunting car start it was pick a driver, fortunately our Driver Dermot and Mickey( the pony) lifted the feeling of dread to exceptional heights along with the views all thoughts of what may have been were quickly dispelled. The stop at Lord Byrons Cottage came all too soon for us, after paying Dermot, and thanking Mickey we had time for food, big sandwiches at a reasonable price, then on to the boat trip across the lakes of Killarnie with glorious scenes and a knowledgeable boatman, as the water level was very low, there was a short walk required where the lake was at its lowest, all added to the adventure and enjoyment of the day. Then back to Killarnie in the mini bus.
