Hi all,
Interested in thoughts about our upcoming itinerary overall.
But, in particular, whether it's worth spending another day (tagged as ** swing day **) in Dingle for a Blasket islands excursion, or adding a different destination along the way:
- Portmagee overnight for a Skellig Michael day trip is one idea; bit of a detour for a really weather-dependent activity?
- Another is a detour on the way to Northern Ireland to visit Glenveagh; the drive seems doable, but it adds a one-night stay, which we're ok with if it's really worth it.
