We headed for the Dingle Peninsular and saw the McGillycuddy Reeks Ireland's highest mountain range. We stopped at lots of tiny towns with tiny stone houses and then at Inch beach. A lovely beach of sand which would be wonderful in summer if the sun was shining. No one in the water and no one taking up the offer of surfing lessons. Drove around Slea Head to Dun Chaoin with views of Blasket Islands and the Ring of Kerry which we visit tomorrow.
Visited The Gallarus Oratory a perfectly preserved 1500 year old stone building with a curved roof.
Really amazing. Lunch in Dingle. Drove up the Conor Pass - Ireland's highest pass at 1500 ft - to get a spectacular view of Mt Brandon at 3100 ft. On one side you can see Dingle and all the way to Dingle Bay and on the other side you can see the Atlantic Ocean. Stopped to see suffolk sheep climbing the steep sided hills. In spring they are allowed down on the flats to lamb but before the summer they are sent up to the mountains again.
Somehow I corrupted Ronnie's photo card and lost a day and a half of photos. Luckily we are travelling with a group and I should be able to get a copy of someone else's photos. So upsetting.
(When we got home Ronnie recovered all the lost photos using a computer program!)
