Dingle Adventure!

Molly (in picture) and I rented bikes and cycled the Dingle Peninsula! It was about 30 miles, so we left on the first bus Saturday morning, and got to Dingle about 1:00 pm and rented bikes and we were off! We stopped a lot, to see views like this... That was the great thing about bikes rather than cars, the roads are so small, if you're driving a car you can really only stop where they have designated pull-offs.
We stopped at this beach! The water was so clear!



It was pretty cold, but people were still swimming!
Our lunch, blue cheese and wine! A wave swept up and tried to sweep it all away, but after a pair of wet shoes (Molly's) and lifting our cameras' in the air, everything survived...


We watched the sunset on a beach.

We though we'd save some money by not booking a hostel, so we found this place to sleep!
Positive: it was dry
Negative: concrete wasn't the most comfortable/ warm thing to sleep on
Positive: it was right next to the beach!
Positive: We saved $$$
Now I've done the homeless sleeping thing... Not too bad really- after biking 20 miles, I slept well, once I was able to fall asleep!

Wow, the beaches look absolutely breathtaking!
ha, but that's hilarious that you just kinda slept on the groud(:
I don't think I'd ever have the courage to do that.
I'll email you today.
I promise(:

WOW Allison! This is such an amazing opportunity. Your Aunt Tanya has been telling me all about it, but she finally forwarded your blog. The pictures are soooo good. You are a lucky, lucky girl even if you had to sleep on the cold, hard concrete:)
