Killarney and the Harley HOG

A shuttle bus picked us up in Bunratty at 11 am on Saturday and we traveled 2-1/2 hours into County Kerry where we will spend the next week. Our week-long walking trip on the Kerry Way begins and ends in Killarney, a picturesque town of about 10,000 people.

We were surprised to find the town filled with motorcycles—close to 10,000 of them! We left Knoxville during the annual “Honda Hoot” motorcycle rally and arrived in Killarney just in time for the "Harley-Davidson HOG". Bikers have come to Killarney from all over Europe, the sounds of their motorcycles echoing across the countryside. There were at least ten motorcycles parked in the small parking lot of our guesthouse. We will be interested to see what Killarney is like when we return a week from now.
