The 17th was our full day in the Galway area and we had 2 options. We were either going to boat to the Aran Islands or travel by car south to the Burren and the Cliffs of Moher. Due to weather (wind, etc.) we opted for the latter and we clearly made the right decision. What a day it was and we began our first taste of dramatic scenery which continued day after day.
The Dunguaire Castle with Kinvarra in the background. This is just one of a vast number of castles we visited and was conveniently along the way to the Burren (Burren means "rocky place" and is a vast expanse of rock left by glacial activity).
The roads narrow in places; particularly when you've chosen backroads.
Another road - speed limit 80 km/h. No way!
The Cliffs of Moher and Sheila.
I've arrived home.
The Cliffs. If you have double clicked and look carefully you will see people on the edge. Yikes!!!
They are warned. I obey all laws and restrictions!
The early Irish obviously had no difficulty with heights and living on the edge (as we learned so well later on in the trip - just wait). This is the castle I called "home."
More later with the 18th.
