    Getting TO/AROUND: In Dursey-Island you may use Ireland's only cablecar, at the very end of Beara Peninsula.

    Check out the time table - as the Island is uninhabited, the owner of the cable car will come and operate it only in the morning and then again in the evening outside the main season. It was funny to see him arrive by car only in order to start the cablecar. I asked him to take me over to the island and back again in order to take some pics, and so he made an extra-tour for me, although the last journey of the day was done already.
    Be carefull, the whole cable-car is swinging easily, when you move inside of the cabin from one side to the other in order to take a perfect picture . You may even open the door during the ride and that way you may even fall out easily, when it starts to swing.
    In the gondola it is officially licenced to transport 2 passengers and 1 cow !

     Hoping to visit some of those places soon. County Cork looks lovely in your pictures, the colourful houses, the stunning scenery, so much to look forward to. Very nice page with lots of useful information.    		Paul2001 Wed May 24, 2006 01:42 UTC
