Killarney National Park

Although it was plan to have an easy day of only 70km, we neglect to check how hilly the coastline is between Bantry and Killarney. The weather clears a little and we get to see some of the stunning coastline scenery of the Wild Atlantic Way.
Eventually we arrive at Killarney National Park toward late evening. As we have not reached our intended CouchSurfer in Tralee, we have to rely on our plan B, camping. Setting up camp in wet conditions whilst having being wet all day, is not the most pleasant way to spend an evening. Reversing the process the next day does not thrill me much either. It does mean that we are on the road early for a change, though. We sleep in the arboritum section of the park and woke up very close to wandering tourists the next day. Despite 10 hours of alleged sleep, muscles are slow to warm the next day. Wild camping in Ireland is not allowed but if one is suitably hidden, never a problem.
