Galway and Aran Islands!
As we left Dingle for Galway, we visited the Cliffs of Moher and the Burren. The Cliffs were very dramatic with the wind and rain. No sunny photos here today folks! The wind at the Burren was almost comical. Very cool landscape and I think the wind added something a little extra special to the visit. Check out the YouTube video! We arrived in Galway early evening for our two nights in town.
The following morning, we took a ferry out to Inishmore (largest of the Aran Islands). Grab your Dramamine because we hit some serious waves! Once we landed, we split into two groups and had a mini-tour bus around the island. After lunch we visited Dun Aengus, a Celtic fortress on the cliffs. It was a lovely hike up to the fortress and we had nice weather so the views were breathtaking. Several movies were filmed on the island like Leap Year and The Matchmaker. Over driver had first-hand experience working on the movie set and shared some fun stories.
"Wow" Moment: Lots of adventures from the Cliffs of Mohr to Inishmore Island. But I think the best part was our island mini-bus driver/tour guide. He had some great stories about the island and movies that were filed there. He had us laughing most of the time.
