Day 6: a transit day from Fota Island to Killarny with stops for pastries and coffee, sheepherding demo, sheepshearing, and around the town of Killarney, mostly told in pics.
It was the hottest day of the trip and we were standing in the bright sun from 11:30 to almost 1. Unfortunately, THB was taking his essential tremors meds and side effect of the drug and hot weather is to feel like crap. That set in while we were in Killarny having lunch outdoors. By the time we reached the hotel THB was near collapse and our room did not have a/c.
After unpacking, DB had gone off to the next event, a falconry and owl demo. She stopped at the desk and we took a downgrade to get a/c. Then she and KM discussed it and we traded a Martin room for the downgrade and now THB was in his 3rd room of the afternoon and unpacked for the second time. So much better. And DB reclaimed a bathtub which got eliminated in the downgrade.
