Dingle Sunday 23 May.
Monday was a scorcher of a day. We strolled around the town seeing what it has to offer and getting some laundry done. It's a great little town and a busy fishing port with many French and Spanish trawlers calling to drop off their catches which are then picked up by French or Spanish lorries and taken all the way back on the Cork to Roscoff ferries.
We went out Monday evening to sample some of the pubs. Not difficult for a small town with reputedly 52 pubs. Dingle still has 2 of the traditional style pubs remaining, Dick Macks in Green Street opposite the church and Foxy Johns in the Main Street. 
Dick Macks is a pub today but used to also be a leather belt and shoe business. The window still displays the goods and as you enter the pub on your left is the old belt and shoe shop, and on the right the bar.

Ieuan and Dee are sat behind the belt and shoe counter.
Foxy Johns is a pub but also still today a bike hire and hardware store.
The hardware store is on your right as your enter and the pub on your left.


Wednesday 26 May is National Fish and Chips Day to celebrate the opening of the first fish and chip shop in Ireland 125 years ago. Apparently they will be half price. We had a lazy day today with a round of pitch and put in the afternoon before leaving for Ventry Habour7.5nm away where we picked up a visitor mooring for the night before plodding on our way Thursday.
