| We were prepared to fall in love with this area...but it fell well short of our expectations. Dingle town was a complete disappointment...it didn't have much to offer beside tourist nick nacks and poor food We don't even have a picture of it. Our B&B was really nice and we do recommend that The driving tour of the Dingle Pennisula as described in Rick Steve's Ireland book is worth a day trip. The scenery is incredible. We recommend staying in Tralee as a home base...we liked this little town (even in the rain). The town feels much more genuine than Dingle. The Rose of Tralee Festival in mid August is a national event. A visit during the festival is really special. |

| I am sure that if the weather had cooperated we would have enjoyed this day more.... But like the pictures...it was gray and dreary...not the Emerald Isle we expected. |
| Clochans or Stone Huts like these can be found on the pennisula dating 500 BC to 500 AD |
