Ireland Tour day 5

Today our early morning start took us to the quaint thatched roofed cottages at Adare. Then it was on to view all the breathtaking scenery the Dingle Peninsula has to offer. The 51 kilometer Slea Head drive affords magnificent vista's of the Atlantic Ocean. We viewed the Blasket Islands and their unique literary traits of being Gaelic speaking. Our evening began with a 3 Course meal at Tralea near Killarney where we attended a performance at the Siamsa Tire National Folk Theatre where the legendary heritage of Ireland is reenacted in compelling songs and dance. This truly wonderful performance all in Gaelic, brought Irish history, culture, myth and legend to life with haunting songs from the women, men folk and children at play, and musical rhythms, both lively and sombre, and with wonderful tap dance routines.Les mer
