Inisheer, the Aran Islands. . . . . . . .

We are staying really busy on this trip, every day some place beautiful and interesting

draws us out early morning and we don't return to rest until late evening. . . . . . after

 visiting a new venue for an hour of traditional music, either in a pub or on the street! 

 We are on our fourth day in the town of Killarney where the music is great, the weather

really kind with plenty of sunshine.

We have traveled to the Dingle Peninsula and the Ring of Kerry - two awesome day

trips where I took hundreds of photos as the scenery was stunning.

Here are some promised photos from the Aran Island of Inisheer - it was a lovely place 

and, although cloudy, the rain stayed away and we enjoyed the boat ride and a couple of hours onshore. 

Bob with Ronan and Molly - they took us around the island on an interesting tour.

We stopped at the local pub/cafe for a freshly baked fruit scone and some liquid refreshment.

Cliffs of Moher and the Aran Islands. . . . . . . . . . .

Arriving in Galway City we immediately checked the weather forecast

and decided Wednesday was the day for our tour of the area named

 The Burren, the famous Cliffs of Moher, and of course the Aran Islands. . . . . . . .

Sunshine and clouds were promised with only a slight chance of a shower 

which thankfully didn't show up.

View from the high cliffs - a boat similar to the one we sailed on for the Aran Islands trip.

Sailing back from Inisheer, the smallest of the Aran Islands, the sea was 

quite rough however, our boat was still able to do the 'under the cliffs' part

of the journey which was spectacular and allowed us a quite different 

perspective of these huge cliffs and rock formations.

Standing 214 metres (700 feet) high and 8 km (26 miles) long, the Cliffs of Moher

 boast one of the most amazing views in Ireland.  

Started our cliff top walk here. . . . . . . . . .more pix coming, along with views of our 

lovely ride around Inisheer Island with Ronan and Molly.
