A Trip to Dingle, County Kerry, Ireland - 21st July 2009

Nosher, Isobel and Fred are over in County Kerry, in the west of Ireland, for a wedding. We're there for most of a week in a spacious rented pad next door to Ballintaggart House, just outside Dingle. The first couple of days are spent mostly hanging out, but we get a few moments to wander around Dingle and even go out for a bit of food and a few pints of Guinness, thanks to some auntie-based baby sitting. After the wedding, we fly back to Stansted and get a good view of London and the Thames.
