Medieval Banquet

After our stay in County Mayo, we took a detour to the southwest Ireland.  We spent two nights near Killarney the first one at Bunratty Castle Hotel.  This night we went to a medieval banquet at Bunratty Castle across the street from the hotel. 

We started the day with lunch at Durty Nellys, a famous pub in the area.  We had some fish/chips and did some exploring before the banquet. 

This is the grouse that Matt saw while we were exploring.  He insisted that we take a picture of it, even though you can barely see the tiny bird in this photo.

 

Again, here’s the 10-second delay photo that Matt took in front of the castle.

 

Here is a picture of the castle from the hotel across the street.

Here is a picture of the elk skulls the owners of Bunratty found on the property.  They were all over the welcoming room at the banquet.  We had all you can eat ribs, chicken, potatoes, salad, bread, and so much more.  We had live music and a show all night.
