We left the Galway apartment at 8 am and headed to Dingle along the coast. We stopped at the Cliffs of Moher which had a very informative Visitor Center built into the hillside. It was SUPER windy walking up to the cliffs, and it's a big attraction so there were lots of people there. We tried to stop for lunch in Ennis but there was no parking available. We ate outside a gas station with a deli- most of them have food.
We got to Dingle after driving around mountains with lovely sheep and cow-filled valleys. Duinen House, our B&B, is a beautiful home on a hillside above the town, with a sheep pasture next door.
Host Patrick was lovely- a former teacher and author, he sat and visited with us in the sunroom while we waited for a ride to town. We ate roasted lamb shank and veggies at Lord Baker's Restaurant, the oldest one in town. Food was great and the waiter was very attentive and friendly. We walked around this fishing harbor town looking for a pub with music but the places that had it were packed. We ended up at Paddy Bawn Brosnan's where we had a good visit with some locals and two guys from Montana. Back to the room at 10:30
