Irish Mists and all that one day BUT the next was a Cracker

Leaving River Lodge we set of for DINGLE and sadly not much viewed as the mist was really thick altho lots of pics taken the weather was a shocker.We reached Dingle around 4 and went into town that boasts 52 pubs and had a few of my newly acquainted beer Smithwicks .The pubs were painted in a very colourful way and pubs were next door to each other !!We lasted until around 8pm went back to the B&B and because there is NO TV we watched a movie from the selection I have bought from Home.Breakfast next day was a very bland breakfast (Continental) and we left for a terrific drive towards Limerick going around the Dingle Peninsula starting at Slea Head saw great Blasket Island (there are lots just like depicted in Father Ted) then headed towards Tralee which was festooned with lights in the shape of a rose ( I could write a song about that?) We picked up a lady hiker who had spent the night in town and didn,t want to get breathalysed Onto the coast of Finet watching boat people (well it looked like it !!) practising Sea survival,the pier wall was lined with fishermen (one was using an 18 foot rod!) After abreak or 2 we landed at out next B&B and what a lovely surprise ! the house is fantastic and looks very much like a family home,mine host Bergie was tremendous and made us welcome by offering us tea and cake !!

WE have

WE have encountered all kinds of Statues in the remotest of places and Annie has an obsession with Coloured painted houses !!! Fields are arranged by dry stone walls and Birds have taken a fancy to Annie !! Next the PUB

Our lovely host told us to visit The Locke Pub in Limerick and we did!! It was great atmosphere and traditional Irish Music being played by 2 young ladies on a Harp,Squeeze Box and a Box Drum.We met up with a couple of lads from the USA and had a laugh.We ventured around town after the pub (and 3 pints!) to explore this lovely town and we were not disappointed.Annie has had her look at a Castle and the water way lock system is amazing ,Tomorrow we had off to Galway
