Tuesday - Killarney to Doolin


KILLARNEY TO DOOLIN
Yet another day of beautiful rolling green hills and mythical stories. I so love Ireland.
Today we drove to Dingle village and the Dingle Peninsula which is level with the Ring of Kerry and if you ask any Irish local they will tell you the peninsula is just as good, if not better. We checked out the Sleeping Giant (Finn McCool again) and the 3 Sisters, some ancient beehive dwellings (which once again predate Stonehenge) and the Westernmost point of Ireland. When we arrived at Coumeenole Beach we had to obey "tradition" and wet our feet in the ocean. It was fecking freezing but oh so nice to be back on a beach again!!!
Back in Dingle I made friends with their town mascot Fungie the Dolphin before we motored on to the famous surfing town of Lahinch.
After crossing the Shannon Inlet by ferry we arrived in Doolin and went straight up to the Cliffs of Moher just before sunset.
The more time I spend in this place, the harder I'm gonna find it to leave...

If you are feeling at home in Ireland it's because you do have Irish blood in you! But, you MUST come home! and Dad will play some of his Irish music for you!!! xx
