2019年7月1日, アイルランド ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C
After passing Derry, we entered the Republic of Ireland, the only indication were the road markings. As it was getting late, we continued south to Sligo.

The next morning we met up for a few coffees and a chat with Ruth, who along with her husband Kevin we met on our Cuba tour the previous year. Unfortunately Kevin had to go to Dublin with his work.

Walking through Sligo it was a lovely town with a cafe and pub lined river going through the middle of it.もっと詳しく

Leenaun
2019年7月1日, アイルランド ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
We head south west from Sligo. Enroute we pass through the beautiful town of Westport, with many colourfully painted cafe's and shops.

We continue south over a mountain pass and moors. We stop for lunch at Gaynors pub in Leenaun, a tiny village at the head of what turns out to be Irelands only fjord, Killary Fjord. It's also the area where the 1990 movie "The Field" with amongst others Richard Harris, Sean Bean and John Hurt was filmed.もっと詳しく

Galway
2019年7月1日, アイルランド ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
Heading south east we end up in Galway for the night. Heading into town we walk down the pedestrianised streets, lined with lovely shops, cafe's and pubs. There's a great buzz about the place.

We end up in O'Connells for "refreshments", as recommended by Kevin. From outside it looks like a normal pub but through the back is the beer garden which is set out like a Victorian street with little shop fronts. Entering the different doorways, one is the toilets, another where you can get food.もっと詳しく

Doolin
2019年7月2日, アイルランド ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C
We continue following the coastline south, passing through the Burren. All around you is pale grey stone ribboned with crags and crevices; miniature cliffs spread like mosaics as far as the horizon. The Burren is a limestone landscape formed millions of years ago, where there are over 80 tombs scattered across this sparse terrain, dating from the Mesolithic era right through the Iron Age.

Further on we pass through Doolin, famous for its pubs full of traditional Irish music. We go down to its harbour where many craft shops are, but mainly its the point where you can get the ferry to the Aran islands, including one made famous by "Father Ted".もっと詳しく

Cliffs of Moher
2019年7月2日, アイルランド ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C
Just to the south of Doolin we join the many tourists to admire the highest point of the Cliff's of Moher. The cliff's actually run for about 9 miles (14 km), but this is probably the most spectacular part of them, rising to 702 feet (214 m).

It's also where O'Brien's Tower, a round stone tower near the midpoint of the Cliff's is located, built in 1835.

To accommodate all the tourists, this being the number one Irish visitor attraction, there's a huge car park and hobbit style visitor centre thats built into the hill.もっと詳しく

Conor Pass
2019年7月2日, アイルランド ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
Heading south again we quickly pass through the nearby village of Lahinch which seemed very busy, this time it was hosting the Irish Open.

We had to take a short cut there down some very narrow lanes, to avoid all the tourist buses, as we were in a hurry to catch a ferry. We made it just in time for the 20 minute sail from Killimer to Tarbet. Enroute an Irish Coast guard helicopter flew very low over us.

Once past Tralee we headed west onto the Dingle peninsula. Halfway along the north coast we turned inland and up the very narrow and steep road to Conor Pass, not open to lorries and buses. We get a great view of where we came from and also to the village of Dingle, where we are heading, and the islands beyond. At 1496 ft (456 m) it's the second highest Irish mountain pass, and reputedly the most scenic.もっと詳しく

Slea Head
2019年7月2日, アイルランド ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
We stop briefly in Dingle to sort out our accommodation before continuing along the south side of the Dingle peninsula. The drive is spectacular all the way to the western end Slea Head with great views to the Blasket Islands.

As we loop around the peninsula we come to lovely Coumeenole Beach where they filmed Ryan's Daughter. The clifftop roads are so narrow here that tour buses are requested to drive clockwise around the loop.もっと詳しく

Dingle
2019年7月2日, アイルランド ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
Once back in Dingle we wander around this pretty, small town of colourful buildings. We visit a few pubs, which in this area are peculiar because they double as grocers, hardware or even bicycle shops. Used during the day mostly for the store and later on the pub. It is interesting to be sat at the bar whilst the band play from behind the shop counter.もっと詳しく

Portmagee
2019年7月3日, アイルランド ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
Very early start so that we can get to Portmagee for 8am. Not far from Dingle we stop to look at Inch Strand, a 5km long sand spit jutting into the sea between the outer Dingle Bay and inner Castlemaine Harbour overlooking magnificent Iveragh and Dingle Peninsulas. This location was the film spot for Ryan's Daughter many years ago. It's also very popular for people to drive onto and camp. Whilst there we see one unfortunate chap who parked a bit too close to the shore, and was desperately trying to dig his van out as the tide came in.

Portmagee is a small village where we meet our small boat to the Skellig Islands.

As we head out to the islands, we pass the small bay where the first transatlantic communications cable came ashore. Further still we see the headland that had the marking "EIRE" on it that helped Charles Lindbergh know where he was when he made his transatlantic flight, before he headed for France to land.もっと詳しく

Little Skellig
2019年7月3日, アイルランド ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
We motor at a fair speed out to Little Skellig Island, taking about an hour. We pass many seabirds and even some dolphins.

The Skellig Islands are two small, steep, and rocky islands lying about 13 km (8 mi) west of Bolus Head on the Iveragh Peninsula in County Kerry, Ireland. The larger of the two is Skellig Michael (also known as Great Skellig) and, together with Little Skellig, are at the centre of a 364-hectare (899-acre) Important Bird Area. Whilst going around Little Skellig we also see many seals.もっと詳しく
