Dingle

The town that the peninsula is named after, Dingle, is a tourist drawcard. So I parked my car in the council car park, braced myself and wandered onto Main Street.

Well if it brings the punters in, why not?

The bookshop cat. Its likeness is even on the shop fresco.

The Strand was where most of the people were.

Probably swelling with music in the evenings but I didn't check this.

Fungie is a bottlenose dolphin that had been frequenting the bay since 1983, but failed to appear in 2020, so sadly he may have "gone out with the tide".

There is fishing activity in the bay.

By this time I was feeling like having some fish so I went to the second of these pop-up vans.

Cod and chips. Chips were hand cut which was fine by me, but the cod was rather bland like in Limerick.

This was a telephoto shot, the corvids aren't actually eyeing my lunch; this was taken before lunch.

Colourful shop.

Time to explore the peninsula despite the unpromising weather as I would not have the time to do so the next morning, having to continue north.
