Going back to the hand thing, Dingle is your index finger - the most northerly of the four, with more mountains, better roads and - for some reason - the most interesting buildings (let's not get on to my pet moan about the dreadful euro bungalows). Our Airbnb is just down the road from Tralee, overlooked by the Slieve Mish mountains and backing on to Tralee Bay.
Following our by now well established routine of driving half down down the peninsula, we left the car at the top of Conor Pass, took some pics and skedadled down to Dingle town to commence the Slea Head tour.

This turned out to be our best day. The road around Slea Head was dotted with car parks and viewing points for the many tourists who were enjoying some clear weather and the best views of the WaWa we had yet experienced. It was here that Stanley Kubrick filmed Ryan's Daughter and he certainly got a cracking location! Lovely shots out to the Blasket Islands and across innumerable wild and unspoilt bays.
This is what we hoped to find along the WaWa and, clever old Ireland, she had saved the best for last.
