First thing we drove back into town to take some photos - very brightly coloured houses and buildings - we have found this in the many of the towns - bold and bright colours. A big day today - the Ring of Kerry and the Dingle Peninsula. Drove along the northern coast of the Beara Peninsula passing some lovely lakes and arrived at beautiful Kenmare before starting the road that is the Ring of Kerry. The big peninsula was yet to come - Dingle. After passing through the very touristy town of Dingle we travelled out to the end - Shae Head - and the views were stunning.

Staying in the small village of Spa tonight - drove 6k down the road to Fenit and had dinner at the pub/restaurant at the pier - great meal of crab, scallops and fish - delicious. Heading up north tomorrow - not quite sure where yet - but I am sure nothing can compare with the spectacular cliffs of today - the weather was absolutely perfect to see them in all their splendour.
