Ring of Kerry and Dingle Peninsula

 A couple of days of absolutely stunning scenery. The best scenes were where you can't stop and photos really don't show the depth to the view.

Ladies View, Ring of Kerry

Torc Falls, there were a couple of spare parking spots this afternoon.

Fuchsias were growing wild as hedges in the south of the Ring of Kerry and Dingle Peninsula.

Dingle Peninsula, I was intrigued to go there as the name is totally different in English to Gaelic. Very different scenery, lovely beaches and farming land.

Looking at the Dingle Peninsula from the south of the Ring of Kerry.

Leaving at 7.15am this morning was so worth it, I enjoyed almost two hours of hardly any traffic and being able to stop at every view point with ease.

Yesterday I took at route to Kerry Woollen Mills that turned out to be through the Kerry Highlands, on a very narrow and windy road. Had to wait for some sheep to get off the road at one point as they clearly weren't used to cars, seemed to be more of a hikers route. 

Buses travel anti clockwise around the Ring of Kerry, as it isn't wide enough for two buses to pass each other. I drove it clockwise, so I wouldn't get stuck behind the tour buses and just had to stop to let them go by. I timed it well today and only met a couple, Sunday at one point, I met seven one after the other.

Cromwell's Bridge in Kenmare, very, very steep.

Every village I drive through has at least one shop with one of these out the front. It's just regular soft serve but if you get a 99 cone it has half a Flake in it. Many of the specialist ice cream shops seem to also sell coffee, perhaps because of the weather? 

Every tourist town has two or three jumpers selling Aran jumpers, those this design seems confused with Fair Isle jumpers? 

My €2/A$3 bargain yarn from Kerry Mills. Definitely much cheaper than the other wool I've purchased so far.
