Desperately seeking Fungi

 

 

We were in down in Dingle the other day, a small port in West Kerry famous for being the locality where Ryan's Daughter (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066319/) was filmed.

Dingle has many things going for it - great atmosphere, pretty streets, excellent pubs and restaurants - that makes it a big tourist attraction in this part of the world.

But we were there for one thing in particular - to try and get a sight of Fungi (http://www.dodingle.com/pages/fungi_dingle_dolphin.html), a dolphin who arrived in Dingle bay 25 years ago and never left.

Instead he stayed to entertain locals and holidaymakers alike (and boost the local economy immensely).

There are a number of boats offering trips out to see Fungi - all promise sight of the dolphin or your money back. We weren't disappointed.

Murphy's ice cream in Dingle

I'm down in Dingle for a spot of Dolphin hunting (more on that later).

 Whilst we're here I've been sampling the superb local ice cream made by the Murphy brothers.

 I'm a big ice cream fan but this stuff is absolutely fantastic.

 There are lots of excellent reasons to visit Dingle already (Dick Macks is my favourite) but Murphys makes it even more difficult to stay away.

 It's also an ice cream fit for geeks. Both of the Murphys are on Twitter (@icecreamireland and @kieranmurphy) and they have a blog (www.icecreamireland.com ) as well as the www.murphysicecream.ie site.

 Love it - shame mail order is so tricky...
