10 days in November. Stepped off the boat and into the lap of luxury. I am sure I gained weight eating three full courses a day while moving from Hotel to Hotel on the South West Irish Coast. Mom and Dad enjoyed themselves whereas I got depressed. Probably guilt from living off the fat of the land. The photograph is taken from a spot just in front of the Eccles Hotel. A big sprawling Victorian Hotel that was closed except for weekends. All the hotels we stayed at were nice but the most spectacular was the Park Hotel in Kenmare. It was filled with antiques and had this sort of old world luxery about it. As always for Kenmare the view from the window was spectacular.
