The best driving yet!
We sadly left Dingle this morning at 9:30 am. We got into Kinsale at 12:40 after stopping for coffee in a small town called Macroom. Bill drove like a pro! We got checked into the hotel (The White House...) which has us assigned to a room overlooking the street that goes straight to the harbor.
