September 20 Western Ireland - Dingle & Slea Head DriveThis was my favorite part of the trip - the Dingle area of County Kerry is absolutely amazing! I felt like I was in "real Ireland" when we arrived at our gorgeous B&B the "Pax House". It was a perfect location just atop a hill overlooking Dingle and the Kerry Penninsula. Our host couldn't have been friendlier and their adorable dog Rio was excited for us to arrive and start playing a game of fetch. :) The views on the website are exactly how it looks!
The town of Dingle is just quintessential adorable Irish village with multi-colored houses nestled against rolling hills and set in a gorgeous harbor. Their is supposedly a very large dolphin that lives in the harbor year round named Funghi but due to the weather we weren't interested in going out on a boat.
After a nice dinner our with some live music and a fair number of pints and whiskey's for my sister's boyfriend we headed back to the B&B for a good night's sleep - it was so quiet and the beds were very comfortable.
The next day we spent a full day taking our time around the Slea Head Drive - the gorgeous drive around the Dingle Penninsula and I would definitely recommend it. The driving is not that bad, a few windy roads along cliffs but the other drivers were quite polite and as compared to other drives I've done it wasn't the worst. The views were definitely worth it. Turquoise waters that looked like Hawaii were everywhere! PHOTOS: View from the B&B Western View from the B&B

Amazing beach - my favorite spot on the whole trip! Daigun I think it was called.
