Chauffeurdriven Vacations in the West and South West of Ireland

Today we made our way in glorious sunshine to the magical Dingle Peninsula. Our first stop-off was St Mary's Cathedral in Killarney. The construction of this lovely church began just before the famine in the early eighteen forties and then ceased during the famine years. It recommenced some time after the famine and was not completed until the early nineteen hundreds.The photo below shows Susan and Cam standing by the memorial to the unnamed famine victims who lie buried here on the Cathedral site.

Where did they pick up that handsome stranger?

Awwwwwww....he's gone again

 Sunshine at last. The rugged western Atlantic coastline...and below.....they found him again. Eating fish and chips in Harrington's in Dingle town.

The road ahead as we descended from the Conor Pass.....and this is a two-way road with a one way drop of hundreds of feet on your left hand side.

What a lovely day this was once again. This tour has been really nice and we have covered a lot of ground. Our next destination is Blarney and the Blarney castle. I am not allowing them to kiss the Blarney as they already have the "Gift of the Gab" and a double dose of that is more than i could manage. Wednesday night sees us in Kinsale, the gourmet capitol of Ireland. Fine dining comes naturally to these girls....with a little drop of the "cratur"  (as we say here) on the menu, no doubt.
