After visiting the Cliffs Of Moher and the Loop Head Peninsula, we spent two days walking and enjoying the landscapes of the Dingle Peninsula, the westernmost part of Ireland (excluding islands). Our visit there was a really great surprise as we saw the most impressive sea shores we have seen for a while in Europe.

The best way to enjoy this amazing place in autumn is to stay for the night in Dingle town center, and spend the day …

 

South from the Cliffs Of Moher there is the Loop Head Peninsula, a land bounded on the north and west side by the Atlantic Ocean and on the south by the River Shannon estuary. A small 1 mile piece of land saves the peninsula from being an island…

The best coast on this Irish peninsula is the west one, with a really nice and windy drive that makes drivers stop every kilometer to see a different view of all …

From cliffs to sand beaches, every sea shore we visited in this country was a really great surprise, even at this time of the year.

We watched them carrying big branches from the forest to their pond, working hard to build their dam : serious and concentrated!

If I had to choose only one place from our trip to Alaska, no doubt it would be the Denali National Park. In this park Northern travelers can find everything they dream about : amazing and wild landscapes, huge mountains and a really important wildlife. From grizzlies to wolves, among moose, caribous, Dall sheeps and beavers, we saw in Denali more wild animals than anywhere else in the world.
