We arrived late at Benners Hotel in Dingle, but we were happy with the accommodation and the staff was very friendly and delightful.
The next morning started misty, but there were also sunny spots here and there.
It was very quiet in this bay, only the footsteps in the white sand showed that there must have been someone else there before us. There were seals lying on a sandbank on the lefthand side, but it was too difficult for us to get closer and we did not want to get into the seals' living space and disturb their peaceful harmony.
We drove along the Dingle Penninsula with its astonishing views.
I bet this beautiful beach is not crowded in summer as there are not many people living in this area.
I found this looks like a landscape from another planet, but amazing in its way!
A really fantastic view down from the rugged hills.
The same place, but another view.
I could not take enough pictures from this beautiful area.
On the left Gallarus Oratory, built in the 7th or 8th century. It is still waterproof, though it was never renovated. On the right an old stone house, left by its former owners, but with its own flower pot on the top of the chimney.
I thought Ireland would be boring to look at in the winter season, but I was wrong. I was so excited about the various landscapes with its beautiful colours. It certainly looks different than in summer, but it has its own charm and feels like a peaceful place.
Who would not be overwhelmed by this beauty! Nature is the best architect!
We headed back home through Killarney with its lovely lakes.
Pity that the weekends are always too short, I would have enjoyed to stay longer, but there are more weekends to come!
