Today we visited the wonderful Dingle peninsula, and eventhough the weather was not as nice as yesterday, we were fortunate, as it was nice and warm, with no rain. Our first stop was at Inch beach, a really nice stretch of sandy strand, and a beach that is very popular for surf boarders and swimmers. Most visitors think that swimming must be extremely cold here, and are amazed to find that during the Summer season, swimming is something we all do regularly. I think that some of them expect to see penguins and polar bears around the place.Sorry guys....wrong country.
It does look a little chilly at Inch beach in this picture of Christine, Bobbie, and Alex. Maybe they just need a tonic.
Further along the road to Dingle, i took this photo, with the Iveragh peninsula, more commonly known as the Ring of Kerry, in the background.
Another nice picture, with the green fields on the hillside, closer to Dingle.
And then we were to find the baby lambs home, close to Slea Head. Here we have Christine,
cuddling her baby lamb.
She is quickly joined by her Mom Bobbie. They seemed to be naturals as they were most comfortable with their pets.
It was turning a little darker, and getting chilly, the further we traveled along to Slea Head at the tip of the peninsula.
The sheep along the coast are not afraid to venture beyond the barriers, as you can see in this picture. There is quiet a drop down into the sea just beyond where these guys were grazing.

Today was Christine's birthday, and we ate once again in the Uptown restaurant tonight. The staff were not prepared for this birthday, and did not have an official cake for Christine, but they did come up with a little surprise, and Christine got the chance to blow out a candle.
Happy birthday Christine.
Out tour is now coming to an end as we move on tomorrow morning to Bunratty, where tomorrow night they will be celebrating their final night in Ireland at the banquet in Bunratty castle. A fitting end to what i hope has been a nice tour for them all.
Our tour finally ended on Sunday when we parted company at Bunratty where they were to spend their final night attending the Medieval Banquet in the Castle before flying out on Monday morning.
I was sorry to see them go, but they did have a lovely time, and that was what counted in the end.
Safe home guys, i love you all.
