Day 49 5 September

Our first day in Dingle.......

We slept late, woke just I time to get to breakfast by 9 am and meet the deadline of 9.30.  We spent most of the day just wandering around the town, talking with people etc and doing a little shopping. There is an abundance of hotels and eating houses.  Of most interest has been the art and craft shops where local artists make and sell their own creations, obviously for the tourist trade.  Fish is on every menu, a strong industry here.

Late afternoon the rain came in so we had to get out the raincoats to walk for dinner.  We are now back in our lovely room enjoying a peaceful quiet time.  Tomorrow we hope to drive out to Slea Head, the most western point closest to Canada.  This will give us a glimpse of the Atlantic Ocean.  However it will be weather dependent.

We note that it is fairly wet and cold at home.  We continue to enjoy discovering new places and are soaking up the beautiful scenery.   We are enjoying the hospitality of the Irish people - they are very friendly and interested in where you are from. Of course, we are taken for Australians most of the time!

Keep warm everyone.  Much love to all.
