Castles, Cathedrals, Crystals, Cashel, and Lakes Pt 2

Despite the repetitive title,  the second part of today's blog is just about our hotel, simply called The Lake Hotel in Killarney. This is the first hotel in ages, or resort for that matter, that for me has exuded such a vibe of "relax".  The hotel is at least 100 years old if not older, and is very sumptuous without being overly opulent.  You remember the hotel from the movie The Shining?  Like that only not creepy and murderous.

Wood appointments everywhere.  An in-room jacuzzi,  a room view of the lake and on-site ruins, a 4-post bed, etc. We're spending three nights here, and for good reason.

The lake is breathtaking.  My first immediate thought was how appropriate a site it would be for artists to paint and sketch the scenery.  Sunset was inspiring as well.  Honestly, I cant say enough about where we are now.  Easily the most beautiful place I've been here.

Time for jacuzzi, then bed.  Tomorrow we visit another castle riding a horse and carriage.
