Irlandiamo

We wake up in the violent downpour that seems even more strongly amplified by the glass roof of the verandah that welcomes us spelndida for breakfast. The time to finish the last sip of coffee and the sun starts to capiolno between white clouds now. We decide to explore the Dingle peninsula in the northwest.

We take the Connor Pass road and from the pass we enjoy a magnificent view: on one side of Dingle Bay and the other that of Brandon both dominated by the mountains of the peninsula.

As we head towards Brandon Bay to Brandon Point. Before reaching the vantage point we see a beach that seems made to unleash the legendary kite again. We challenge once again the strong winds that can rip back to a node of the sail.

We resume the road to Brandon Point where we will have a splendid view of the ocean atalantico. We chat with a naturalist intent to handle all of the powerful telescopes. He explains he is trying to spot the whales. After a couple of minutes and here is the show for the first time in my life I see very clearly a whale! An unforgettable experience.

We return to the Connor Pass and we stop for a hot soup (it takes just today .. despite the sunshine outside the thermometer marks 12 degrees) to Colaghane, a village nestled on Brandon Bay where time really seems to stand still: the smell of peat burning in fireplaces, donkeys, old men with a wave of their hand and welcome you seagulls playing on the shore. After 5 days now we are really sure of being in Ireland!

We return to our b & b where we deserved a careful steaming cup of coffee and a couple of homemade treats those who will call in peace with the world. Today, Italy, but it seems very far away.
