The bus ride to Dingle took us over the Shannon Estuary by ferry. We stopped in Listowel at the
John B. Keane Pub for storytelling by his son Billy Keane. From there we passed through Tralee (no sightings of Mary the Rose of Tralee) and on to Dingle. Our group's accommodations in Dingle, were at the Milltown House and its lovely neighbor, The Clonmara B & B.

There once was a visit to Dingle,
Music there made us all jingle. Our visit to Dingle included a Harbor Boat Tour, a Falconry Experience, and two Music Nights, one at the Milltown House, and the other at Siopa Ceoil An Daingin, Dingle Music Shop. |

Slea Head Loop
According to Rick Steves' Ireland guide the loop trip "must be driven clockwise, is easy by car, or is a demanding four hours by bike."
Luckily we took the bus. The loop included stops at beautiful views, the Great Blasket Centre, a group picture, and the Gallarus Oratory.

and the hardships of the people who lived on
the isolated Blasket Islands off the coast of the Dingle Peninsula.
