Hi,

I have been living in Ireland for good few years now, but I could use some help of planning an itenarary when my sister is visiting me & my hubby next week.

We only have a weekend to go away together and we have decided to head to Dingle on Friday afternoon and stay there two nights, which gives us one full day to explore the Dingle peninsula. I have things more or well sussed out in Dingle area, what I could use some help with though is what to do on Sunday before heading back to Cork? I have been thinking of driving to the Killarney area and spend the day in there. We don't need to be back until around 8pm on Sunday so we have a full day to explore the area. The questsion is what to see there? I have been thinking the following:

1) To explore Gap of Dunloe. To drive to Kate Kearney's Cottage, park there and walk to the top of the Gap and either walk or take a jaunting car back if we are too tired or there is not enough time to walk both ways. How long would it take to walk this? Me and my husband are both in relatively good shape, in our mid thirties, my sister is few years older but in much better shape, running 1-2 marathons each year!

After walking the Gap then drive from Killarney to Kenmare and stop in few places on the way, maybe Muckross House, Ross Castle & Ladys View. Then drive to Cork via Kenmare

2) Skip the Gap of Dunloe and just drive to Killarney and spend the day exploring the Killarney area: the lake and the National park, Ross Castle, Torc Waterfall, Ladies View etc. Then drive to Kenmare stop there and drive home.

Do you think the first itinerary is too abitious? Also would it be better to drive to the Molls Gap, end of the Gap of Dunloe and and do walking from there?

Sorry this is so long, but any suggestions would be greatly appricated!
