For our second day in Ireland, we went on a day trip to the Cliffs of Moher. I’ve heard that the cliffs are beautiful and I was super excited to see them. We got up early, and headed to the meeting point for the tour. We headed to Galway, because that is where the tour company is based out of and we had to pick up some more people. We were exhausted, so we both slept most of the way to Galway. Once we got to Galway, they switched bus drivers and we were off. Pretty much the whole time we were headed to the cliffs, we were on tiny little windy roads where the bus driver had to pull off to the side to let people pass. Our driver told us funny little Irish stories as we passed various run-down castles, churches, and crosses. Occasionally he let us out to take pictures.
Then we stopped in Doolin for lunch. We had some delicious seafood chowder, and then we were off to the main attraction. The cliffs were amazing. I don’t even know how to describe them, so here’s a bunch of pictures:
We made a few more stops on the way home, more churches, crosses, and something about fairies that I don’t really understand. We got back to Galway and had dinner. We ate beef and Guinness casserole because it is a typical Irish food (according to our friends)… it was actually REALLY good.
We got back to Dublin and went to sleep because we were exhausted and we had to get up early again the next day.
