We just can't wait to go back. We stayed in Dingle 2 nights and just loved walking around, shopping at Dingle Crystal,driving the peninsula. Kylemore Abbey setting is just beautiful! YES the roads are very narrow in most places. Thanks for the memories.

The countryside, scenery and beautiful buildings just remind me how stunning it is. Our niece studied cookery with Dorina Allen at Ballymaloe, which is a wonderful place to stay as well. I think that most countries have different types of beauty that can be admired. I will remember the places you stayed at for future reference. Much love.

I had brought a book about the Famine and it made a double impression on me, passing green hummocks which once had been villages - I didn't find it lacked drama.

How can you do this and think it is FUN? But, I love all the images, the coastline, the horses, the dogs, the beautiful old structures and the colorful towns. My daughter and I dream of travelling to Ireland one day, I will have to ask you where to visit, leaving the walkabout completely out.
