Costello-Events > Bob checking out of the Cahernane. Always check your bill. We were overcharged 110 Euros, nearly $150! An honest mistake by the ditzy clerk. Yeah, they're everywhere.

Costello-Events > Just a random beautiful lake in the Killarney National Park.

Costello-Events > Again, the joys of wandering off the planned route. We're on the N71 between Bantry and Skibbereen and see the sign to Ballydehob. I see it only a 1/2 mile or so to the right, it's near lunchtime so, why not. After a delightful 1/2 pint in Vincent Coughlan's pub (with 7 or 8 regulars) we go to the Cafe Bar. Guess what? A gourmet lunch in a foo-foo cafe/kitchen shop straight out of gentified/urban renewal America. An interesting juxtaposition!

Costello-Events > Ireland is washed by the Gulf Stream thus the climate is more moderate than England and, yes, palm trees grow there.

Costello-Events > Okay, get your perspective hat on. This tunnel is 12 feet tall. Couldn't be more than 9 feet wide.

Costello-Events > Driving in Ireland. Okay, M roads are like interstates or close. N roads are major national highways between big towns. R roads are the major roads between smaller places. This is an N road. It's maybe 14 feet wide at this point.

Costello-Events > Notice the road curves on the other side of the tunnel . . . in other words, you couldn't see if anything was coming!

Costello-Events > A seafood restaurant in Kinsale where we ate. Recommended by our B&B hosts.

Costello-Events > It seems quite important in the modern Irish home that it have dormers, preferably three. Our B&B in Kinsale, the Waterside, was having three dormers added, much to the delight of our hosts PJ & Phyllis Crowe. She said that Planning Council permission had eased of late and they were now able to add three dormers. Don't know why it would have been denied earlier but, hey, bureaucracy is the same the world over I suppose.
