• Drinking in Dingle (no, not Burnley 🤣)

    May 21, 2024 in Ireland ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

    We had a day to kill at Inch Beach, Campsite. So what better way to spend the day in Dingle. It was on our 'must see' list anyway. So, instead of driving through and stopping off for a couple of hours, we decided to spend the day drinking and shopping 🛍 (or at least I did). The only option to get to Dingle was on the bus, so bus w*****s it was. I checked the bus times, every 4 hours!!! To which Paul reminded me 43 million times we needed to catch the 10.43, or we were ******. And crossed our fingers 🤞 that they let dogs on the bus. The bus arrived bang on time. The bus driver had only been working a couple of weeks, so he didn't know if dogs were allowed on the bus, but let us on anyway (phew!). Our first stop in Dingle was Long Johns on the harbour front for some brunch. A lovely vegan salad 🥗 for me and fish 'n' chips for Paul , sneaking sime of his fish to Molly under the table. Only in Ireland can you go to the local hardware shop and get a pint. We bought some Bungees we needed (for the bikes) and two pints of guiness 🤔. I left Paul at this point to do a bit of shopping. I needed to stock up on a few essentials, and they had a Supervalu shop in Dingle (this is my new favourite food shop). Got myself some wine (the first time I have stocked up, and I only brought two bottles with me). The last bus back to Inch was at 4.15, so I headed off to Dick Macs (which was also a cobblers shop) pub to meet Paul. In I walked, searching for Paul. One of the bar staff said, "Can I help you?"I'm am looking for my husband." Some guy sat at the bar says "is he with Molly the dog?" Erm, yes, that's him 😳.
    We got on the last bus, it was the same driver as earlier in the day. He says, "I checked if dogs are allowed on the bus, and they are not" 😮. Pause.... but you are OK to travel back 🙏.
    Had Kitty's again for dinner, falafel wrap this time 😋 and settled in for another round of Kin. Only disturbed by Paul's very, very loud drinking snores 💤😫💤😫💤😫
