A few weeks back I planned a short trip to Dingle town with my friends. We stayed at Castlewood House in a luxurious set up located on the shores of Dingle Bay. When we arrived at the place, we were greeted with a warm cup of tea. We had booked two deluxe rooms and we were overwhelmed with spacious and stylish designs of the rooms. The rooms had ...

Most people have never heard of the Skellig Islands found about 16 kilometres (10 miles) off the coast of southwest Ireland. But what a find and what an experience!! Skellig Michael, the larger island, was the home of Christian monks in the sixth century. They lived in beehive stone huts built near the top of the 600 steps that cling in places to the cliffs. Next door on Little Skellig Island is the ...

Rok temu wpadlismy na pomysl zeby wybrac sie w podroz do Ameryki Poludniowej na czas nieokreslony i od razu zaczelismy nasze przygotowania.

Zaczelismy od nauki hiszpanskiego i od zdobywania informacji na temat interesujacych nas miejsc. Postanowilismy nasza podroz zaczac od Patagonii i podrozowac wzdluz Andow przez Chile, Ecuador i Peru. Mamy zamiar ...

Eileen Brennan had won the best dressed cowgirl competition and her prize was a trip for all on the Bere Island Safari. This turned out to be a brilliant ride on a RIB (Rigid Inflatible Boat) around the Island on a beautiful flat calm warm sunny day. A stunner.

At the back of Bere Island we entered caves that are rarely visited as you can only get in when the seas are calm (not common in this area) and ...

... interesting. Not to live with but interesting, nonetheless.

We cooked our first meal in the hostel tonight. Rachael made spaghetti. It was tasty. This environment is a different way to look at the country and its travelers. We have met people from all over and mostly just gone about our ways but here we are connecting with some. We are giving to travelers from Israel a ride down the road in the am. Super sweet couple, lets pray we don’t die.

Talk to you soon

... seen all over Ireland, however, only several are as well preserved as this one. The fort was about 10 feet high, and I climbed up on the walls and had a great view of the ocean. The fort was also surrounded by sheep as it seemed to be on a private property. There were other tourists, but only a handful.
The place we did stop for lunch was called Sneem. It was also right on the water and had a little river that ran through it ...

... a lot of stops to take pictures along the drive today because the countryside was just so beautiful and so green- many shades of green. We also got a little taste of the Ring of Kerry an we had to get on it for a little bit to get to Killarney, but we were saving the entire Ring of Kerry for the next day.
On our way to the hotel in Killarney, we also stopped at the Ross Castle. It had just closed, but we were still able to walk the ...

... Next was Cill Mhaoilcheadair (the church of Kilmalkedar), which was the Norman center of worship. It has a graveyard, which over the years has risen above the adjacent fields, as well as a partially buried early-Christian cross, and an ogham stone which had been on the grounds for 900 years before the church was built. This stone is another interesting bit of history. It is covered ...

... been so spectacularly amazing we thought our rich vein of accommodation couldn’t go on, but the price was right and for that Nanna and Amber felt like royalty in getting to share a four poster bed. We were also treated to some great entertainment not long after our arrival, when our host invited us to sit in the lounge room while she rolled up a long rug to reveal a polished but well-worn wooden floor and then ...

... Dolphin that has lived in Dingle Harbor for the past 21 years. During that time, he has accompanied boats into and out of the harbor, made friends with the fishermen, and become an international phenomenon. He's not fed--He seems to stay in the harbor because he prefers human company. Several years ago, a pod from the outside world spent three weeks in the harbor trying to lure Fungi out, but he wasn't having it. He's not going anywhere. He wasn't in the harbor that day ...
