What an amazing day.

We left Castlemaine and drove about 2 hours to the west coast, stopping in Ennis for coffee and a chance to buy an Aran wool pattern.

By then the weather was windy, cool, and gorgeous. The Cliffs are over 350 tall here, quite sheer. Saw guillemots by the thousands but no puffins 😞

Then, after walking FOREVER along the cliff tops, many ups and downs, we drove into Doolin and caught the boat. David had time to down a dramamine, and that worked great. Only 2 meter waves today. 5 m waves due tomorrow!

then it was quite a long drive thru the Burren, truly weird geography of rock cut into squares and shapes by the elements. Barren indeed, althought we drove along the coast much of the wa, and that was lovely.

Had the Nicest stay at a beautiful B&B, Anne and Mike, with daughter Kieran (sp?).

Each day we are so tired that it's tough to keep this blog up. Caught up just one day with Anne & Mike, but now, moving on, the connection is once again poor. So no photos this time.

With love, from near Fort William. Isle of Skye tomorrow
