Irish Roadblocks & Slippery Cliffs



Yesterday a few of us went on a tour through the Burren and to the Cliffs Of Moher. Despite having to wake up at 8 to catch the bus, it was a really great day. Our tour guide, Michael was hilarious and full of knowledge about every place we passed. We left Galway and headed towards the Burren and stopped at a ton of places along the way.

The Burren is sort of like a National Park, and it stretches for miles and miles, and is completely covered in limestone. It was gorgeous everywhere we went, and we saw so many old castles, ruins, and cows. Our bus even got stopped in an "Irish traffic jam" by a cow standing in the middle of the road.

The Cliffs of Moher were absolutely breath taking. Even though the day started out foggy, it ended up clearing by the time we got to the cliffs, and the view was unreal. The pictures I took don't even do it justice. We wanted to go out further along the path, but it was so muddy that
security was being super strict and wouldn't let us pass the fence.

We made a few more stops along the was throughout the Burren, and I got loads of great pic
tures of all the landscapes and attractions. It was such a great day and I was so tired by the end of it, and we will definitely be booking a tour to Connemara very soon!
