Tuesday....the Dingle Peninsula

We head off this morning to go to Dingle.  A small village on the Dingle Peninsula.  The weather is beautiful again and the scenery is breathtaking as we snake our way along the Kerry Ring.

Using a GPS to get us places works so well but every now and again Doris (nick name for our GPS) decides to take a short cut.  All of a sudden she says turn here and we are off down a back road.  If Doris wasn't guiding us I would have no idea where we are.

But lo and behold, we arrive in Dingle.  Beautiful spot.

We have some lunch at a great restaurant called the Chowder Cafe.  It was delicious!

Dessert anyone?

After a little shopping we decide to leave the crowds and drive to the end of the peninsula.

We stop to view some cottages that the poor people lived in during the famine in the 1800's.  What a rough life they had!

These are Ogham Stones.  The writing dates back to 500 AD.

This guy wasn't lacking in food....we even got some food at the gate that we gave him.  Pretty handsome guy!

Then we head for home.  It's been a long, enjoyable drive.  It's nice to return to a home base of Caherdaniel.
