Cliffs of Moher

Greetings from Galway!

Today we decided to leave the car at our B and B and take bus tour.  It was a smart choice.  We left at 9:00 and arrived back at the B &B at 6:00.

The tour started at a 16th Century castle known at Dunguaire Castle.  





We proceeded to a Wedge tomb in the Burren area dating back to
2500 B.C.   After which we stopped at a pub for Guiness Stew and a Guiness for lunch.  Only in Ireland can you pull up to a pub door with 52 passengers and have a quickly served lunch.

The next stop was the reason we came to Galway.  The Cliffs of Moher is like the Grand Canyon.  You may have seen it before, you may have built it up so much in your mind that you feel it won't measure up - but like the Grand Canyon, it doesn't disappoint.  The Cliffs rise 700 over the Atlantic Ocean!  We were lucky to get some good photos in before the rain and wind hit.  It was spectacular!   



There were a few additional stops on the tour and we got some good pictures and had a super day!

We returned to our B and B and went to the corner pub for dinner.  You can see by the photo that they
decorate pubs a little differently here for the Holidays

 On to Killarney!

    I bet you enjoyed a day free of driving. It’s hard being a passenger too. Glad the cliffs didn’t disappoint. I’m so enjoying your trip blog and the photos. Thanks for taking the time to share your journey. Enjoy Killarney. If you have time, there is a spectacular overlook called “Lady’s View”. Well worth it. Have fun!

    I am having such a good time viewing Ireland through your eyes. The pictures help so much. The BBC has been discussing UFOs seen off the sw coast on the ninth of November. Hope you are not in any danger from them!

    Sounds like you really know the country! ☘️ Love reading your updates. I was at The Bay Motel restaurant with my dad for lunch today..... Missed seeing you there. I guess I'd choose Irish cuisine also. Enjoy!
