Kemare to Dingle via Gap of Dunloe 145 km, 4 hours
Lucky Lost
Somehow, we managed to take the back way into the Gap of Dunloe — how lucky are we?! The scenery is truly spectacular. If elves, leprechauns, or trolls exist, this is where they live. We didn’t see another car for about an hour and a half. I think we were in the Black Valley, but I’m not sure. Pro tip: when you’re lost, just act like everything’s going according to plan and point to interesting sights. It keeps the passengers calm.
We finally made it to Dingle — as one does — and, don’t you know, there was a full-flung festival! Apparently, it’s a pretty famous one, drawing folks from far and wide. The streets were jammed with music, mayhem and massive amounts of beer.
We stayed at the Dingle Benners Hotel. It’s old-school — no elevator, lots of wood, and walls lined with pictures of Dingle’s notable figures. We had a nice chat with some locals; everyone wants to know what Americans think of Trump.
Bangers and mash are definitely a yes when you’re eating them — less of a happy experience as they mature in the system.
The lads getting up to no good after the festival – until midnight.
We didn't make it down to the point, but it looks beautiful. It's a one-way loop that takes a couple of hours from Dingle.
