Fortunately I know that Ireland is no less stunning than New Zealand (even a bit less daunting for the likes of myself) but sadly I speak only from word of mouth. It was a gread idea to link to Google maps, and I spent some time scrolling down the Gap of Dunloe myself. I too, came across a horse and cart (does it ever not trot up and down that road?) and an affable party of walkers even waved at me (in my Google car).
