Part 5/8:
The weather took a turn for the better, and we launched into exploring Skellig Michael, famed for its Star Wars history but more importantly, its monastic heritage, where ancient monks sought solitude.
The Dingle Peninsula
Our journey led us to the Dingle Peninsula, a highlight of our trip, further accentuated by sunny weather and thriving wildlife. Enjoying a boat tour with Dingle Dolphin Boat Tours, we were thrilled to spot dolphins and see the coastline from a unique perspective.
Slea Head Drive provided panoramic views that solidified the area’s stunning beauty. Continuing on, we embraced the rugged cliffs and discovered the rich Gaelic history of the Blasket Islands, where oral traditions shaped the narrative of rural Irish life.
