Lismore, Ireland




On a trip south through Ireland, we decided to take a path that was very much an adventure. It is a narrow road through "The Vee", a sharp corner in the Knockmedown Mountains. It put us way behind schedule, but being as though we didn't have much of a schedule, when we got to Lismore we decided to stop for the night. I had already produced a list of bed and breakfasts in every town we were travelling through just for such an occasion.  As well, I had already driven the route on Google Earth so it was easy to find the b&b above. It was new, but the rooms were small. It was in a great setting. Of note: look at the tropical plants in the yard. The south of Ireland gets the Gulf Stream and is warmer than you would expect.
