21 September 2024 Dingle: Fish 'N Chips at the Fish Box and a Walk to the Distillery

 


We got off the boat and decided to get some fish and chips at the Fish Box.  We liked the food so much that a return visit seemed very appropriate.  Some of our fellow boat tourists were at the Fish Box with us and at one point Leslie says, "She is coming over." We were very curious about this and when she arrived she had a notebook with her.  Inside this notebook is a sketch of me with my mustache all askew and my camera in my hand.  It was fun to talk to her.  After lunch, to walk over to the Dingle distillery.  We passed the aquarium and the fresh fish store on the way.  The sub-conscious is amazing and this fish store worked on ours so much, that on the return trip we stopped and bought seem fish for dinner.  That fish was so tasty.  18 Euro was less than a single entree at any of the restaurants in town.
