Today, the group started with an hour drive from Killarney to Dingle Peninsula, which included a small town. Near the bay lies a statue of Fungi, the dolphin who had inhabited the bay and became somewhat of a pet for the locals. Afterwards our driver, Matt, took us along Slea Head Drive, a winding, narrow road which took us around the edge of the peninsula. The majority of the view was foggy, making it difficult to see anything. On the trip back, we stopped at Gallarus Oratory where monks used to pray. Surprisingly, the stone building is still waterproof after centuries of harsh weather, as pointed out many times to us. We traveled back to Dingle and ate lunch in small restaurant and then made our way back to Killarney where we remained at our hotel for the night, eating in the pub and enjoying acoustic music performed live.
