On tour with own car and driver/chauffeur /West of Ireland

Today on the Dingle Peninsula as the tail-end of hurricane Katia hit the west coast of Ireland. We had gale force winds and wonderful stormy seas and, believe it or not.....no rain. What a great place to be.
Joe and Carolyn Ricapito sitting on a low wall above the strand at Inch.This is a favourite place for surfers, but even they did not dare to enter the seas today.
The Atlantic rollers in full flow as we made our way towards Dingle town.
Pictured here with Maura Houlihan at her 500 year old house near Slea Head. If you want to enjoy a visit to the ancient beehive huts, Maura's is the place to go. You will see her house on the right hand side just before Slea Head. Her charge of Euro 2-00 is more than reasonable for what you will see here.

Joe and Carolyn enjoying a great feed of "Fish and Chips" in Harringtons in Dingle. We had the cod and it was really the finest. You will find this restaurant just opposite the tourist office in Dingle.If you have room when you are finished your fish and chips, try a whipped ice cream cone..... Yummy. Take it from one who loves his food.....Harringtons is the place if you love your sea-food. Ask for Eileen....and tell her Dave said to look after you. She will anyway.
Harringtons .....and below
When you find Fungi the Dolphin..... you will find Harringtons.Fungi is that wonderful Dolphin who entertains thousands of tourists every year in Dingle harbour....and has done for over twenty years now. Since he arrived here in Dingle he has been a Godsend to this town and has attracted tourists from all over the world who come to witness this magnificent entertainer.
Finally....Joe and Carolyn high in the mountains at the Conor Pass this afternoon. I was worried that we might be blown away up here today but it was unbelievably calm as the mountains were sheltering us from the storm. This was a day to remember, and even better as a result of the storm. It was wild, but not wet or cold. A day for rosy cheeks.
