Photo Blog Day 8: Ring of Dingle Adventure!

This was our first stop on the drive. We had a breathtaking view of the lake, islands, and misty mountains in the distance.






A short walk from the lake, we walked through a large cemetery with many gravestones and statues. Some of these gravestones were so old that it was hard to read them.

After driving along the water and the side of a hill, we stopped at Inch Beach (which was a bit larger than an inch!) and got to walk along the sand and listen to the bubbling waves.


Then, we stopped at the edge of a hill to get a incredible view of the valley. The squares on the hillside almost makes it look like the hill is covered in a green quilt.

Then, we got to hold lambs! They were so soft and warm, and it was such a fun experience. We also got to walk close to the sheep.

At the same place where we held the lambs, we got to see the Beehive Huts. It was it was really cool because they were the same type of stone huts that are seen in Star Wars: The Last Jedi on the planet where Luke lives.




Then, we drove to a place where we could get a view of the island where the ending scene of Star Wars: The Force Awakens was filmed. It was so amazing getting to see this island in real life, as if we traveled to another galaxy!



While we were in the bus, we got to see sheep being herded by a man in a tractor and his dog. The drive was very scenic and it was cool how the colors of the mountains blended into the fog.



Then, we stopped in the town of Dingle for lunch. We had a reservation, and got to sit at a long table. After lunch we got to walk around the town before leaving back for Killarney.


The view from the windows on the drive back to Killarney was amazing!  We got to go past the cemetery again, and we drove past an old stone church. The green and silver landscapes felt so fresh alive, and everything was so beautiful. I hope to come back here again!
