DAY 8 – 7 JULY Dingle Peninsula and Inch Beach

Cead mile failte! One hundred thousand welcomes!

Today, brilliant sunshine and SPECTACULAR views! Dennis, our busdriver for the day while Robbie took a required day off, told us all about the landscape and taught us Gaelic phrases. He sang several songs for us, too! The Blasket Centre on the end of the Peninsula was particularly interesting, and all of us learned about the people who lived on this extremely remote island. We enjoyed many views of the turquoise sea!

After spending some time in the town of Dingle, enjoying the best fish & chips in town and doing a bit of shopping, we stopped at Inch Beach for some craic (fun in Gaelic)! Everyone played while Sue and Abigail played Irish tunes on their instruments. After an early dinner at our hotel, we watched the World Cup in some of our hotel rooms in little groups.
