After a quick trip through customs (the agent asked me how long I was staying), a definite bonus of a smaller airport, we picked up our rental car and commenced with driving on the left side of the road. And I only had to put down a damage deposit of €1500.
The drive took about three hours and we only got lost once. After a short nap to keep us from expiring, Christine and I went down to the beach in Ventry. The sun was actually out and we walked around before heading to dinner at The Skipper.
After that, we went into Dingle for a concert. The music was gorgeous and fun. We even stayed awake the whole time. After a quick cup of tea back at the bed and breakfast, we conked out for a solid 9.5 hours of sleep.
Today started off with a hearty breakfast. We're back in Dingle to use the internet, explore the town and pick up food before we take off to drive along the coast. Just to keep things interesting, I thought I'd include a few pictures from the trip so far. Unfortunately, I don't have any from our drive, as I was busy keeping two hands on the wheel and staying between the very narrow lines.
