Bank Holiday in Ireland

What a weekend it was - Kenmare was full of rally cars and spectators trying to park (and VERY rude some of the rally drivers were too )
We were besieged with people wanting to stay and some inconsiderate person who'd booked two rooms just didn't turn up - despite phone a couple of times to say he was on his way (actually he got his kid to do that) and then finally admitting at 9.30 that he was still in Dingle - a 2 and a half hour drive away.
That was really annoying - not just for the loss of income (it's one of the few weekends we ge a number of guests) but the fact that we had four parties of lost tourists who were desperate for a room ... and I tried really hard to help them by phoning other b&b's but without success - so I ended up with two empty rooms on the busiest night of the year ! And with the cerain knowledge that I could have had them filled.

The Rally did after all close the mountain road and Kenmare was like a ghost town while the spectators went to the hills to watch other people drive cars in the rain !

It's very quiet here now but it looks like August will be really busy.

I drove to Torc Falls yesterday and got some great shots of the falls in full spate with a truly beautiful Spring Green everywhere.
