The many terrains from Dingle to Dunquin

Petra and Ana pressed on feeling like a tricycle missing one of its wheels to the next destination. 

We walked along a busy road carrying our gourmet irish cheese bought in Dingle at "The Little Cheese Shop"and goodies   from the farmers market. 

 After walking along tarmac for a strong 6k we could feel the tingling in our feet and decided to stop for tea at the pottery cafe in Ventry 

Ana doesn't look too happy about our chicken guests, but was really just a bit confused and missing her walking buddy, Miss. Fiona. 

Apparently chickens in Ventry enjoy tea time too! 

Ana has eaten 4 scones in Ireland thus far. This was her 5th scone and she concluded it was perfection. The raspberry jam tasted like it was made from the berry bush that morning! 

The pottery store was large with great ceilings. The mugs with names were captivating. 

Fiona, Petra, & Ana (with 1 n!) were all accounted for 

Next was our first beach walk and oh my it was gorgeous! 

You can see the sand has been blown away but the stone remains. The beach had so many pebbles and stones raised like strange islands on the sand

There were 3 bridges like this one that we crossed over the boggy wetlands near the beach. 

Ana was thrilled to find this scallop shell. Best momento yet! It has an arrangement of colors if seen up close. 

Back to farm roads! 

Until.. we began our ascent up eagle mountain with the most amazing views of the coastline.

Ana having deep thoughts yet again. 

This is Bladket island. We later met the great grandson of the last resident of Blasket Island at the only pub in Duncquin. He was visiting from San Diego doing a documentary on surfing and his irish heritage that will be apparently "available everywhere" this August! It's called "the crest". Fiona and Ana actually saw them filming  in Dingle the day before. 

But back to the walk! The sheep were with us at every step of the way. Lambs are seriously one of the cutest baby animals. They're underrated! 

Ana couldn't get over the array of blues of the ocean water. Sometimes it felt as though we were in the tropics with the amazing turquoise blues. 

Ana couldn't help but squeeze one selfie in. 

Almost there! 

Petra and Ana are currently enjoying the youth hostel lounge after exploring the small village nursing some aches and pains. Petra ordered a half Guinness and Ana tried her first hot port from the ancient lady bar tender at the pub called krugers that seemed to hold many stories and jolly times within its old pealing wooden walls. I wish everyone could see the cliff views from this tiny gem! It is a beauty like no other filled with mystique and rich colors. 

Till next time! Sending you the wonderful enchanting scenes of the day!
