	We drove along Tralee bay on the Dingle Peninsula's north side. At a crossroad, 10 miles from Blennerville, we turned southwest and continued along a winding road up into the Slieve Mish Mountains. The fog became denser the higher we went. We were expecting this; we had already seen the mist over Slieve Mish when we drove at the opposite side of Tralee Bay. When we came to the town of Dingle, we were tired and frozen from the journey. The town was crowded with tourists and hardly any B&B was available. The stingy hostess said: "I'll charge you £10 for the room. It'll be extra if you want juice." The room had no heating system and the blankets were thin and loose. Ireland's soft mist transformed into a raw night cold, creeping into the marrow of my bones. Dingle is Europe's westernmost town. In Dingle Bay the dolphin Fungi is the well-known and popular attraction. The Dingle Peninsula has breathtaking coastal scenery. The Peninsula is called Corca Dhuibhne in Irish. The Celtic language is still used in daily life in these parts of Ireland. We did some shopping at a country shop in Ballyferriter and there we heard this melodious language, spoken with no intention of being a tourist attraction.
