Dingle!

 We made it to Dingle! 

Our B&B was beautiful and overlooked the town. The hosts were also extremely kind. The story of how we got there was kind of funny. :)
The first night we just explored the village and ate at a local pub and enjoyed the local music. It was pretty crowded with lots of families and kids dancing to the accordion. So much fun.

The next morning we rented bikes and toured the Peninsula. It was about 20 miles total trip and had amazing views of cliffs, beaches, and small villages. We stopped at pottery shops and ate as we rode along. 

It ended up being the perfect day for a bike ride!


I tried to go owling... didn't work too well. ;)






I actually got a sunburn... Nobody would believe me. 



When we got back we had ice cream cones and sat overlooking the harbor.

I loved this town with it's cute shops and pubs!

The next morning we decided to go fishing!!!!


It was perfect weather. Not to cold and not too hot. We were with a few other families and had a blast fishing with them.


Emily caught the first fish! The moment she dropped the line in she got one! 



We caught some keepers and some we had to throw back. Including my Cuckoo Wrasse. It was so much fun!



Not only was the fishing fun, but the views were amazing!!! We coasted along the sea between the Dingle Peninsula and the Ring of Kerry. 


Our guide filleted our fish...

gave them to us in a bag...

Had us walk down to John Benny's Pub...

And they fixed us up a nice fish dinner with our own fish! Less than two hours out of the water... that's some fresh fish! So much fun!



This is the view of our hostel from town.


Dingle was such a beautiful village, and the whole Peninsula was amazing. I loved the people and the scenery! I believe that everyone in Ireland can sing... and they all sing at the pubs. They are family events and kids are there as well. I will miss the pubs a lot and the people we met and listened to in them. 




Dingle was our last stop before Dublin and home. I truly hope to go back there sometime soon. Beautiful.
