Dingle Peninsula

Day two of the Shamrocker Tours was spent exploring the Dingle Peninsula, there was a short stop in the town of Dingle and later we back-tracked to there again for lunch. I love how Irish architecture looks and how quaint the houses are so I couldn't resist taking this photo of the rooftops.

Below is a beehive hut which dates back to about 1400 years ago. We made a quick stop to see the beach and some of the coastline. Then we walked down to the beach and one of the guys on the tour rode "tis cool as feck!" in the sand, which was pretty sweet once we walked back to the top of the beach and could see it from above. The beach and it's surrounding area were gorgeous so that's what the photos are below.

And what trip to Ireland would be complete without seeing rouge sheep blocking the road? A little way down the road there were also a couple of cows blocking the road as well, but the sheep were definitely the highlight of the road blockage. You can see the colors on the sheep here and the picture of the sheep above, those are dyes put on them so the farmers know which sheep belongs to who just for these occasions when they get out of their pasture.

After we were done sightseeing for the day we made our way to Ennis for the night. There was a pub around the corner that usually had traditional Irish music around 9p and then a local band would come in and play after that. The majority of my tourmates were tired from the day's adventure, but didn't want to pass up the music so we went to the pub. The traditional music showed up really late so they only played two songs before the modern day band went on. Being so tired we called it a night pretty early, around midnight-1am. But here's a couple pics from the night.
