Hiking in Ireland: Day 5 on the Dingle Way

Aloha,

Dunquin to some where after Bally David:  
Statistics: 17 miles, 37,000 Caroline steps

Fascinating scenery today.  AND my feet have said, "Please a day of rest".  

We left Dunquin and walked quiet roads and I FOUND A FUN GOLF COURSE.  No I didn't stop and walk 18, I stayed with my pals as a lovely beach called.  The walk from Dunquin to where we ended had THREE lovely walks along the beach.  

 The usual morning photo... studying the map

 Pat, Kerri and Brian

 The view from the road-- to the old volcano cliffs.

 Zoom in to read the history (photo above and photo below)

 A famous potter has his shop along the way.  No stopping as I was carrying enough on my back!

 Wild black berries and wild fuchsias. -- which we see every day on our way.

Some one has a personal gargoyle.

THE GOLF COURSE.  Looks like it can be a bit windy, but forgiving with wide fairways.  BUT the long grasses in the rough may make finding my right hook shots a bit tough!

THE BEACH BECKONED.

 AN ARTY TYPE SHOT-- THE WILD FOXGLOVE-- EVERYWHERE ALONG THE WAY LOOKING TO THE BEACH

 THE BEACH.   Reminds me of home

These are SAND WORMS.  Squiggles everywhere on the beach.

PLUS JELLY FISH... the big kind!

MORE Jellyfish

THE BEACH IS GOOD FOR THE SOUL

We left the beach, found a great pub along the beach serving excellent fresh fish.  After a solid lunch, we continued on around the coast line (much like Point Lobos, CA, minus big trees.  Then a LONG walk through fields and small roads to our B& B.

 FRESH fish chowder

 The walk around the next set of cliffs.  

A long day today.  My option for Day 6 is to transport myself and ALL the luggage for my hiking pals as Day 6 has a nasty climb up and a very steep descent down.  

More to come after I give my feet a rest.

Hope everyone is able to click on the photos / zoom in the photos.

Mahalo for letting me share this adventure.  Stay tuned for Day 7.
