Today we went for a big drive! First destination was the town of Dingle on the amazing Dingle Peninsula. The Peninsula is full of winding roads, spectacular mountains and gorgeous views - it even has some beaches! We didn't see Aunty Gezza, we think they've moved while we've been away.

Dingle was a busy little place today with a run/bike ride on, bus loads of elderly tourists and lots of people out to enjoy the beautiful day. We had a wander through the shops followed by yummy fish and chips on the foreshore.

Then, because it was such a hot day, we headed to the beach! Apparently the thing to do in Ireland is to park your car right on the beach!
Despite what the locals thought, it definitely was not hot enough to go swimming!

Did you know the beach scenes in "Ryan's Daughter" were filmed in Dingle ? We stayed in lovely B&B there and saw the prelim final between Essendon & Brisbane at 5am!!!! Next time I went there was with OOA and it rained the whole time. Beautiful part of Ireland if you don't mind the rain. Cheers FOA
