      The Captain's House

      15. juli 2023, Irland ⋅ 🌬 59 °F

      We had such a lovely stay here. It was centrally located in Dingle so we could walk basically everywhere in town.
      Mary, our host, had fresh eggs from her chickens, juice, milk, yogurt, bread, butter and jam in the kitchen for us.
      There were 3 total rooms, all ensuite. It was built in the mid 1800's, and still had a lot of the original parts, such as the wood railing on the staircase.
      We loved the living room to relax in.
      I think we all agreed we would stay here again.

      Dingle is Dope

      15. november 2019, Irland ⋅ ⛅ 7 °C

      Spent the afternoon in Dingle town, located on a peninsula of the same name, jutting out into the Atlantic. It was obviously quiet, given that it was the off-season - but it was likely more charming/relaxing than it would've been in July/August. We snacked it up, with 3 meals in the lunch/dinner period, but did try to walk a good amount of that off. Ended the night at our lovely hotel with some chess and a minor spill of wine before watching the new Grey's Anatomy; yeah, we're wild.Læs mere

      St Mary’s Church

      27. juni 2019, Irland ⋅ ☁️ 61 °F

      We stopped @ St Mary’s Church before leaving Dingle to see some stained glass windows ... but not the ones in the church itself. I suppose the photos I took at St Mary’s can be considered a “bonus” of sorts.Læs mere

      20. februar 2020, Irland ⋅ 🌬 5 °C

      A day of rest and reflection and reading in the incredible library in front of a peat fire here at Greenmount House for me. Jörg went adventure seeking outdoors and did errands.The weather is stormy with rain and hail and
      temperature is mid to high 40’s. We are enjoying the dramatic weather which changes constantly.

      Ah, Dingle

      6. april 2022, Irland ⋅ 🌬 46 °F

      The view changes every few minutes as we watch our lovely view of the Dingle harbor.

      50 degrees and windy.
      Yes, those are palm trees 🌴! Because it never freezes here and the Atlantic Gulf Stream is just off shore, the wind has a warmth to it that is quite surprising. That said , today’s rain is what the Irish refer to as “lashing rain” and is formidable.
      Latitude here is 52 degrees north, for context Calgary Alberta is 51 degrees north.

      The library here at the Greenmount called my name and I stayed here while Jörg went roaming and scouting , took care of our laundry and brought home pizza .

      We successfully changed our reservations for the rest of the trip to accommodate the changes necessary because some of our friends and family are in quarantine this week .

      P.s. Ronnie ; We did see Tom Crean’s
      South Pole Bar in Anascoul on our way here and will try and find some of his brew.There is also a Tom Crean pub in Kenmare which would be lovely to visit .

      The Dingle Peninsula is in County Kerry and is the most western location of Europe .

      We saw our first rainbow / from its appearance to its disappearance/ 2 minutes and every second stunning.
      Breakfast/ the food, the view, the staff …❤️

      It’s Friday so it must be County Cork

      8. april 2022, Irland ⋅ ⛅ 43 °F

      A perfect day for a road trip with sunny skies and light traffic .
      We enjoyed the scenery along the sea coast and stopped at the amazing Inch Beach.
      The road through Macroom is under construction as a bypass around the town is underway so we took this opportunity to show you the look of a typical small town. You can see how the carriage paths were paved over to make the roads so the buildings are literally on the street with no sidewalks or front yards.
      Watching the ambulance make its way through was amazing.

      We arrived in Ballincollig just in time to get changed and head out to “ the cousins” for a gathering.
      Cousin Darina offered to pick us up and drive us to Cousin Keara’s and we happily accepted her offer.
      9 adult cousins and many of their kids and grandkids too so a swirl of family that is amazing.
      We were happy to gift this family with one of Ronnie’s newest books and they were thrilled .
      The family are avid readers and Keara is writing a history of Ballinora, where she and Darina grew up .

      Buying a Souvenir

      25. juni 2019, Irland ⋅ ☁️ 63 °F

      We rarely shop for souvenirs when we are traveling. And when we do, it’s for something we can use instead of knick-knacks.

      When we shortened our Ireland road trip to fit it into the time we have available, the Aran Islands went by the wayside.

      So, today we picked up some Aran knit woolens as our souvenir from this trip. There was no shortage of shops selling these goods, but we found a place on a back street. More selections ... better prices ... guaranteed original Aran knits from the islands.

      Living in Colorado, we will have a lot of opportunities to wear our Aran sweaters.

      The road to Dingle via Killarney

      5. april 2022, Irland ⋅ ⛅ 52 °F

      We are changing up our itinerary to reflect the need to reschedule some of our local visits due to Covid quarantines.( Not for us thank God ) .
      We will return to Ballyvourney on Easter and stay 2 nights before we head to Kildare’s Bridget Center and Dublin at the end of the trip.
      Today we have a lunch date in Killarney with our favorite Irish bus driver John O’Keefe , then we head to Dingle for a few days stay.
      I don’t think I could bear to leave Ballyvourney if we were not returning soon .❤️🙏🇮🇪

      Harry Clarke’s Stained Glass Windows

      27. juni 2019, Irland ⋅ ☁️ 61 °F

      Harry Clarke is a Dublin-born stained glass artist who was lost to the world in 1931 ... at the young age of 42. He is described as ... “Ireland’s major Symbolist Artist whether in his illustrations or in his stained glass.”

      I’d heard his name before, but didn’t recall seeing any of his art. So, when I read that there are six twin lancet windows that he designed in a chapel in Dingle, we made a point of checking them out before leaving town.

      The Díseart Chapel — or more appropriately, the Chapel of the Sacred Heart — is on the third floor of the former Convent of the Presentation Sisters. The docent who admitted us to the building, warned us that the stained glass in the sanctuary was mass-produced in Germany and that we would immediately notice the difference once we saw the Harry Clarke windows above the choir stalls.

      She was right. I was so enthralled with the Clarke windows that I didn’t even take any photos of the ones in the apse. Not sure how to describe these amazing works of art ... faces more animated with large, expressive eyes ... exquisite and fine detail work ... more organic somehow ... definitely more artisanal with rich colors that catch the light.

      The Mother Superior who commissioned the 12 windows that illustrate the life of Christ from his birth to his resurrection, shelled out £1,000 back then. A princely sum in 1922, I’m sure. Now these windows are priceless.

      Auf der Touriroute nach Dingle

      5. september 2017, Irland ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

      Logbucheintrag von Michael: Pünktlich 9 Uhr bei 13,5°C haben wir uns auf den Weg gemacht, vorher noch schnell in den Supermarkt Essen und Kaffee besorgt. Es war wieder alles nass, allerdings schien jetzt die Sonne als wir starteten. Cliffs of Moher war unser erster Tagespunkt. Wir sind auf direktem Weg dahin, weil uns schon morgens die Touribusse entgegen kamen und wir keine Lust auf Massen hatten. 10:30 Uhr bei gleichbleibender Temperatur waren wir da. Schnell 6 € Eintritt bezahlt und dann ab zu den Klippen. Nach einer halben Stunden fing es leicht an zu tropfen und wir entschieden uns so langsam wieder Richtung Auto zu machen. Der Wind war stark und als wir am Auto ankamen regnete es schon stark. FAZIT: Alles richtig gemacht. Jetzt ab nach Dingle. Auf dem Weg sind wir nochmal abgebogen nach Whitestrand, da war ein schöner Campingplatz direkt am Meer und wir sind paar Meter gelaufen, beobachteten 2 beim baden. Naja die Luft hatte immerhin 16°C. Die Sonne zeigte sich immer wieder. 14 Uhr ging es mit der Fähre über den Shannon nach Tarbert, wo wir eine halbe Stunde später auch ankamen. So jetzt nur noch nach Dingle, 20 km vor Dingle stand da ein Schild von einem Connor Pass, klar da ging es lang. Enge Straßen, steil bergauf, aber der Ausblick als wir oben waren, war dafür mega.
      Fortsetzung von Sarah: In Dingle hieß es erstmal Unterkunft finden. Wir checkten 17:30 Uhr in Brosnans B&B ein ( angeblich Pierce Brosnans Bruder, wir haben diese Story aber nicht weiter beleuchtet). Gleich machten wir uns auf an den Hafen, um Funghi, den berühmten Delfin zu sehen. Leider blieben wir erfolglos, da gabs es eben Fish and Chips auf dem Teller. Bei einen Verdauungsspaziergang an Gift-Shops vorbei durch das kleine Örtchen, entdeckten wir den ersten Pub. Mehrere Räume, rissige Wände, nichts zum lang verweilen. Also ging es weiter, am Hafen sollte Live-Musik gespielt werden, doch die Bar hatte kein Flair und war voller Touris. Google spuckte das "Currans" aus, Pub mit Second Hand Laden. Wir wurden 30 Jahre zurückversetzt. Ein alter einheimischer Herr sprach mich gleich an der Bar an, leider verstand ich kein Wort, er verstand auch kein Wort, aber wir lachten herzlich darüber. Wir saßen in einer ruhigen Ecke, tranken Bier und plötzlich waren alle still. Der alte Mann begann zu singen, zittrig aber wunderschön. Wir waren gerührt und geflasht. Der bisher schönste Moment der Reise. Er war 94 Jahre alt, kam sicher jeden Abend, trank sein Bier und genoss sein Leben. Sehr ergreifend. Als er ging, zogen wir auch weiter, Musik lockte uns in den nächsten Pub. Leider voller Touris, die sich lieber anbrüllten, als zu lauschen. Das Bier schnell hinter und weiter. Unser letzter Pub des abends war gemütlich, 9 Musiker saßen in einer Ecke und gaben tolle Melodien zum Besten. Zufrieden über den Halt in Dingle machten wir uns auf den Weg ins B&B.
