Blogs from Cliffs of Moher, County Clare, Ireland, Europe

Crossed the Shannon by Car Ferry into County Clare. The magnificence of the west coast continues here. The craggy coastline rises as you go north, providing gorgeous vistas all along, and culminating in some great scenic views at the Cliffs of Moher.... read more

I love my bottom bunk bed. I did about an hour work on the garden and finished all my tasks. Thank god, Im tired of garden work. The lady said I was free for the day so I went to cliffs of Moher. What a beautiful place. I mean it was amazing, and it was sunny. Tonight Im off to a pub for a party. One of my french friends are moving to Northern Ireland. So we are saying good bye. ... read more

We have been out of internet access for the past few days and unable to update the blog. In a nutshell we arrived in Portrush last Wednesday, stayed for two nights before moving on to Ballycastle for one night and then around Fair Head (of which much more later!) and into a marina in Glenarm Co. Antrim. We are stuck there with the weather so took a day trip to Belfast today Monday. Just had an amazing tour of the Falls and the Shankill. Hope we can move on tomorrow to Bangor... read more

Early departure. Luckily the two hour ride to Limerick was quiet, no commentary, so we were able to sleep. We really lucked out on the weather today, it poured when we were on the bus, but was fairly nice whenever we got off. We finally figured out to do the outdoor activity immediately if its.not raining, then head indoors if it showers. We headed west, met up in Limerick with the day tour from Dublin. Milan, our guide today was excellent. We hung out with the Aussies today, Julia Fox and her Mum. Really nice women, the Mum a very recent widow of 80ish. Her daughter is with her for an Ireland tour before the granddaughters wedding in Montreaux during the Jazz Festival. We went by bus, still part of Railtours Ireland DH 06 tour. We ... read more

Sorry this one is a day late! i thought i updated it and completely forgot somehow :P on the 17th, I got up super-early even though we were out drinking to close and caught an 8am bus to the Cliffs of Moher. It was super-foggy, to the point of being dangerous if there weren't barriers set up all along the cliff. I got some decent pics, but it's really hard to tell by looking at them how cool of a moment was. It was like being at the edge of the world. It was amazing. I took a short video, just to record the sounds and to try and catch the mist gusting up the side of the cliffs. it was a visit full of amazing moments. After that, i walked what was probably 10k back ... read more

After anther delicious breakfast we took off, we were headed for Doolin with some stops along the way. We are finding it funny that we are often times the youngest by many many years at the B&Bs and have been told more than once how great it is that we are traveling now and not waiting. Getting a “getting a good for you” is always nice. Anyway, on we drove – we are finding that we really didn’t need to take so much time, that really everything is a lot closer, a lot less treacherous and a lot less winding than we had been lead to believe. We had read on another person’s blog that they took the ferry from Tarbert to Killimer would save 2 hours worth of driving…so we took the ferry, relatively fast ... read more
