Dingle!

Having now completed the Ring of Kerry we headed up to the Dingle Peninsular, and more specifically Dingle it self.  A very busy little town with very little parking for our campervan it turns out.  We ended up parking next to the worst distillery (in terms of serving customers!) in the world.  Who has ever heard of a distillery that you can’t by whiskey at?  What’s the point!!

Continuing into Dingle we had sights on a fish and chip restaurant that’s mean to be one of the best in Ireland.  The portions were pretty good to be fair and the environment, sitting outside in the sunshine, was very pleasant, and reassuringly expensive as everything is in Ireland

On the bright side, we also found a brewery right next door to the restaurant, and I managed to obtain a nice flight of beer; happy days.  Then, even more interestingly, a pub on the way out had over 250 whiskey’s to drink.  I did a bit of deal with the barman and ended up being able to taste a few of them.  Rebecca and William were being absolute stars during the whiskey tasting, watching a man make leather belts in the pub (yes, a bit odd!) but they were being so good and polite that the man made a key ring free of charge for both of them. One of those proud dad moments!

Moving on, we walked the back to the campervan via the aquarium, which was very interesting on the basis they also had a great butterfly area and even otters! The kids had some great face painting done, which was nice. We left dingle after a nice day, with the though that it would be great place for a boys trip!

On the way back we stopped for short period, ice cream length, at a nice beach, although I wasn’t going to drive on this one!  Back to the site and we ended up with a lovely BBQ care of the Mrs and then we turned it into a campfire which the kids loved.  A good day was had by all
