Erica's trip to Ireland


Saturday October 1st
Limerick ~ Tralee ~ Dingle (Dingle Peninsula) ~ Killarney

On the road south from Limerick to Tralee

These shots were taken near Abbeyfeale

Just west of Tralee heading towards Dingle

We start to climb into the mountains while the Tralee Bay and Atlantic Ocean streached out below.

Rocky cliffs on the left side of the road.

Rolling fields and meadows to the right down to the ocean.

As we move out the peninsula (this was near Camp) the rocks fade and the patchwork of farmland appear.

Narrow two lane roads twisting through the countryside.

Entering the town of Dingle

Downtown Dingle: Murphy's Pub

Downtown Dingle: Murphy's rooming house

Downtown Dingle: The Murphys :-)

Dingle Marina

A view of residential homes as seen from the Dingle pier

This was a windy and choppy day - normally there are dolphin tours that leave from Dingle and a resident Dingle bay Dolphin.

It was too blustery for even the dolphin to be seen in the bay. He's lived there since 1994 and his name is "Fungie".

Fungie says "FEED ME"!

Back on the road towards Tralee (one way in and out of the peninsula - well real roads anyway!)

Sheep picture for Cassy, this was taken just south of Derrymore.

Looking down towards CastleGregory.

There wasn't much to see in Castlegregory, but I did find these two Border Collie pups playing on the sidewalk. This shot is for Cassy.

Another shot of Murphy's in Dingle.
