I stopped off on the way at St Bridgits Well a quant little cemetary with a room whereby you could leave gifts in memory for the departed. There was a stream running through and it made a nice memorial. Drove to Moher and the cliffs were stunning. It was a little windy some points you were stopped in your tracks and had to hold hard n http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Ireland/County-Clare/Cliffs-of-Moher/blog-431680.html The Cliffs of Moher were named one of the world's New Seven Wonders and thus packs in a lot of tourists each year. They raise to about 394 ft and are at the highest point 702 ft...needless to say they are quite impressive. I don't really have a lot to say about the day other than we explored the cliffs and saw some of the most spectacular things we'd ever seen. We broke the rules and walked along http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Ireland/County-Clare/Cliffs-of-Moher/blog-431417.html We actually spent a good couple of months in Ireland but only did a little bit of touristing new word thanks Garry.We rented a car for a few days and headed south west to Co Clare and Limerick. We spent a few nights in a small town called Doolin and while there we checked out the Cliffs of Moher. We got our first glimpse of the cliffs which are pretty impressive. By the time we got to the ne http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Ireland/County-Clare/Cliffs-of-Moher/blog-424753.html Today was day two in a row of nonstop Irish rain. After a lovely breakfast at the castle definitely the nicest place wersquove stayed at this whole trip and a bit of playing with the resident castle dog who liked to fetch rocks we drove up the N69 to the N67 and crossed the Shannon Ferry to ward the Cliffs of Moher. To say that it was wet outside is a bit of an understatement.

Irelandrsquos not the land of the midnight sun but Irsquod never experienced a day as long as this before. Today is the best weather until the weekend rain and showers only PART of the day clouds otherwise so we drove http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Ireland/County-Clare/Cliffs-of-Moher/blog-414302.html Thursday June 25 Kilmacduagh Kilfenora and other Kool Keltic Celtic NamesTwo days in Galway was barely enough yet we were forced to hit the road once again to drive to Dingle today. Along the way we had grand plans to stop at the Cliffs of Moher and The Burren. The long drives between destinations were definitely cutting into our sight seeing time by now and even sapping our energy but we h http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Ireland/County-Clare/Cliffs-of-Moher/blog-414178.html Today we left Galway and toured the Southwest of Ireland. We visited the Cliffs of Moher and the Burren in County Clare.We visited the Burren first which is so weird. It's like a lunar landscape of limestone. The rocks were left after the last ice age and when the glaciers melted away they left seeds from all over the world. So there are plants growing there from the arctic and the Mediterran http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Ireland/County-Clare/Cliffs-of-Moher/blog-403086.html These past few days have jsut been going around the town and shopping.

Joe the hippie who ran the hostel told us over a special path to take in order to get spectacular views of the cliffs. So we packed the car and headed directly to the cliffs which were only a few miles away. We pulled off the main road and climbed thru several fields and over some barbed wi http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Ireland/County-Clare/Cliffs-of-Moher/blog-387261.html Our tour http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Ireland/County-Clare/Cliffs-of-Moher/blog-330147.html Meidn piti kyd katsomassa yht luolaa mutta 12 euron psymaksu houkutti jatkamaan matkaa.

It http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Ireland/County-Clare/Cliffs-of-Moher/blog-327469.html I always knew Ireland was a rainy country but I never guessed it would rain this much during the summer time. Since my cousin Conor and I have been here it has rained off and on everyday. Despite being perpentually wet we're still having a blast lugging our bags around in the rain. We arrived in Shannon tues morning and caught our good friend Bus Eireann to a small town on the northern ban http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Ireland/County-Clare/Cliffs-of-Moher/blog-312181.html tbc http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Ireland/County-Clare/Cliffs-of-Moher/blog-300933.html July 10 2008Killarney to Cliffs of Moher to Doolin County Clare Ireland Leaving Killarney we begin out trek north to the Cliffs of Moher.

We stopped at Kylemore Abbey which gave us some great photo opportunities. We drove through the countryside enjoying the scenery and we even had to stop for sheep which were being herded down the middle of the road.
