Dingle Bay

On the way home we stopped for lunch in Dingle. This is a new memorial to Charlie Haughey, former Taoiseach (prime minister) of Ireland who owned an island in the bay (Inis Mhicilaun - one of the Blasket Islands) and who supported the fishing industry in Dingle.

Those fishing boats in Dingle!

Toes in the Atlantic Ocean

It was refreshingly cold!

In Memoriam

Tomas' name remains painted on the wall of the habour.

Tomas's currach.

Just last year Eileen nad a new currach built to replace the one which Tomas had on his stand in the bay.

Kruger's Bar

'Kruger' Cavanagh was a local poet, story teller and general 'great character' in Dun Chaoin. His public bar was a meeting place for all visitors. Regretfully, the bar was closed this wekend.

During the years past I often met Eileen in this bar.

Views from the boat

A cave in the mainland cliff.

Here you can see the Marquee tent (the long white bit in the right foreground) where the wedding was held.

Here you can see a group of people in an inflatable boat about to land on the Great Blasket Island.

Here you can see the extent of the landslide which occured on Easter Sunday last. The roadway collapsed into the sea. The Peninsula was closed on the southern side for 5 weeks while the road was rebuilt a little futher inland.

A kerryman told us that these cliffs are 400 million and 7 years old. He knows that for sure because 7 years ago an archaeologist told him that the rocks were 400 milion years old!
