Day 4 – Saturday, July 4
We went on a boat trip from Portmagee to go to Skellig Michael. At Skellig Michael, we climbed the 600 steep slate steps to the top. There were puffins everywhere! We saw a man with a device looking for storm petrols, a type of bird that live in holes about 6 inches deep in the ground. From there we went to the Ring of Kerry and saw the Staigue Ring Fort (grr!). It was the first ring fort (grr!) we’d been to, so it was fun. A ring fort (grr!) is a tall ring of stones, stacked together without cement, mortar, or anything else holding it together. Staigue Ring Fort (grr!) ranges 10-18 ft in height, and you can climb to the top and look around. From the top of Staigue, you could see another ring fort (grr!) in the distance. From there, we visited Cahergal Ring Fort (grr!) and Leacanabuaille Ring Fort (grr!). They were all exactly the same. We went back to our hotel.
