Ireland west double island adventure (Photos)

One side is steep and rugged coast, one side is green as emerald green fields. The southwest coast of Ireland, as her music, mysterious, rough, innumerable twists and turns, natural light. And compared to the eastern part of the peninsula, where the more primitive pure, as if can directly touch the Celtic soul.

Celtic home

Southwest of Ireland, has a quite tortuous coastline, draw the outline of a number of different sizes of the peninsula. Along the coast has a narrow road, winding coast with the lovely scenes to attract more and more tourists. I'm going toSelf-drivingAmong the two link, the first day of the plan is completed, north of the Dingell Peninsula, and then live to second Peninsula Kaili link the southwest corner of the small docks.

Dingell (Dingle) the name loud and fairy tales, peninsula on the link is called Slea Head Drive, inTravelingThe site of rave reviews, also known as the most beautiful Irish peninsula. Peninsula like a finger on the island of Ireland. Small it has a history of 6000. Preserved on the island of cultural relics 2000.

From the nearest airport of Kaili the car, I directly on the street to Dingell. Soon saw the clear blue sea. The natural scenery is magnificent, the sea also has large tracts of farmland and pasture, with a few small house and some cattle and sheep, just look at all this, as general clean wash.

Some people say that, compared with the East, the West Bank temperament more in line with the essence of Ireland, came as the country pub Celtic old Shannon ballads, long, toss, a lingering melancholy emptiness. Indeed. Reportedly, Dingell peninsula is early monks monk. In sixth Century, the legendary Saint Saint Brendan is from thisEuropeThe westernmost place of his the Atlantic trip. Peninsular has maintained the ancient customs and habits, such as the use of the Celt language, to the last position of defending the national traditional. From the village of Terry (Ventry) to (Slea Head), sly angle of a road across the Celtic places of historic interest and scenic beauty, honeycomb stone house, Chapel, the ancient fort, these early sites of Christian culture tiny spots, preservation of the intact surprising.

And a piece of the hill by wooden and stone separated ranch, also have location feeling. If a warrior wearing armor came riding up, said Robinhood or Wallace's team, would anyone really believe it.

The beautiful Dingell town of reputation abroad, because each store here, both the restaurant, coffee shop or handicraft shop walls, all has the extremely bright color as the logo. Strange to say, so bright color, stacked in a person, will see things in a blur, extremely tacky. However, Dingell's colorful gorgeous, but feel harmony pleasing to the eye, distinctive features, it is a vivid colors. Perhaps, Dingell people in this special way, withstand bone-chilling cold, warm each other's heart. The pub came from time to time or happy or long music and clinking of glasses, and the lonely traveler.

Located in the West Dingell in Europe, many years is a fishing port, the residents are living by fishing. One day in the last century 80's, fishermen out to sea, met a group of dolphins alive and kicking, Dingell changed the image of a dolphin, harbor, and attract many visitors, a part of the dolphin water activities.

At noon, I on the side of the road a green wall small hotel stopped. The owner is a man named PaddyFranceThe boy, and my dad in a business is generally small restaurants, leisure time he set sail to go out fishing, bask in the sun, life is quite kef.

The small hotel has a marine name The Skipper (captain), perhaps because the Paddy is the father of the old boatman, may also be the boy Paddy boat and a heart throb. Store the food not only good-looking also delicious, with a very authentic, very chewy French bread, my stomach immediately comfort to retroactively.

Just open the stop, less than one hundred km ring road for nearly four hours. And then headed to the planned Kaili Ring Road, 80 kilometers southwest of the peninsula after the ring road corner there is a more narrow road, 10 kilometers to Portmagee small village. Over the mountains the last light of the powder in the town, the soft light makes the masculine cliff much tenderness. The two island far from the sunset of the mystery, there is I the very next day to go - Skellig Michael (Skellig Michael) island.
