TOUR 05 - 10 Day Ultimate Ireland Small Group Tour – SUN, 07 AUG 2022 – Day 8

---

SUN, 07 AUG 2022 – “Day 8: Scenery of the Slea Head Drive and Dingle Distillery - Fungie, the dolphin arrived in Dingle in 1984 and has been the town’s most photographed celebrity ever since. We’ll go in search of the A list star in kayaks and explore the nearby caves too. If you haven’t got sea legs, stay on terra firma with a hike up Mount Brandon, where panoramic views of the bay and Castlegregory, will be your reward. Heading for the Slea Head Drive, we’ll go on a journey through Irish-speaking villages, famous Hollywood film locations on our search for the water of life (Uisece Beatha) at The Dingle Whiskey Distillery. Here, you’ll get a flavour of how our ‘nectar’ is made and even savour a drop of their single pot still whiskey, matured in aged bourbon casks. Then it’s back for another night in Dingle and a spot of DIY in the local hardware store, Foxy Johns (wink, wink). Estimated driving time: 2.5 hours Excluding stops” – Overnight Dingle, Ireland

Uncle Larry’s Note: According to our tour guide/driver, Jimmie, Dingle Distillery has been closed for three years so I stayed in town and did some shopping for toothpaste, etc., the infamous refrigerator magnet souvenir, a couple of pints and a pail of mussels. Sorry, folks, no worthy photos from today.
