After lunch, Cathi suggested that we leave whichever of the kids who wanted to stay at her place, and go out and about either by ourselves or with greatly reduced numbers of kids - Sarah decided to come with us, but the others stayed, so it was a lovely (and fairly quiet) afternoon. We went out to Mountshannon and caught a "ferry" (which was really a small motorboat) to Holy Island, which has a round tower and the remains of 5 or so churches on it. It was lovely, very scenic and remote and peaceful.
There is a also a park in Mountshannon with an interesting maze, so we stopped there and messed around the maze a bit. And then, on the drive back to Killaloe, we stopped at Beal Boru - Brian Boru's Fort - all that's there now is a big earthen bowl, as is the case with many hill forts, but it's very pretty...
Lots more photos of the day's adventures are here...
