Day 5

Ah day 5, Dingle to Killarney. It was goodbye to the Randy Leprechaun and onwards to the Dingle peninsulawhich plays host to the most western point of mainland in Europe.

Here's the group on the tip on the mainland with the sleeping giant in the background (the island) which is in the local folklore proving a point that there really was this giant man who came to the land.

After circumnavigating the Dingle peninsula we spent some time in Dingle town for lunch and a bit of an explore. Then it was onwards to Killarney where we would spend our last night in a bit of a party town! After checking in to the hostel we were off on a horse and cart ride through the national park, we visited the local castle, some of the scenery and local wildlife, but the most interesting thing were the cart drivers, you could barely understand a thing they said! people with horses are usually bad enough but irish people who have lived around horses all their lives take the cake, these guys were local locals. On the way back to the town there were quite a few oncoming horse and carts but our driver didn't once set a wheel off the path to let others past they had to go overland, our driver must have been the boss or something, he was quite old and did keep saying the same things over and over again laughing all the time!

Right of Way

So it was the last night, we ate our dinner in quite a nice pub/bar then moved on to a place where our tour guide Eric (shrek, rounded body and shaved head) told us we could get 3 drinks for 10 Euro. It was only meant to be a stop off pub but we ended up staying there the whole night because when the pub closed they had a club upstairs which looked quite new and was more orientated to us youngsters as opposed to the pub. The night partyed on and everyone had a great time ending the night with pizza on the hostel stairs which everyone thought was a great idea, and it was, nobody was sick as far as i know. ahh pizza power!

Here's one of me dressed up as one of the girls from the tour group but it's ok i wasnt really drinking that drink!!

.....An early morning lay ahead! oh dear
