Cliffs of Moher

The drive to Doolin was a little easier, most of the way was on national roads and even some time on a motorway. Randy was still not 100%, so we were grateful for a bit of a break for him. We booked a 45-minute cruise to see the cliffs from the water, but Randy stayed behind and tried to nap in the car. It was cold, grey, and windy, so a boat ride didn't appeal to him. It was really interesting to see the cliffs from the water, and Lori, Mike, and I enjoyed the cruise. Afterward, we warmed up in Fitz's Pub while we waited for our cottage to be ready. We went back there for dinner and to listen to music later that night. The cottage worked well. It had 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, so there was plenty of room. It had a washer and a drying rack, so we were able to catch up on our laundry. Day two, we went to the Cliffs of Moher Visitor Center and spent a couple of hours exploring. There were at least 20 tour buses and hordes of people, but we still were able to enjoy the beautiful views. We drove a little further south to a pretty little surf town called Lahinch for lunch. Cornerstone Pub was a quaint old spot with a friendly and entertaining bartender who kept us laughing. Dylan was a native of Lahinch, and he thinks it's the best spot in all of Ireland. Surfing is his passion, and it's a great place to surf. Later that day, we walked into Old Doolin to Gus OConnors Pub for traditional music. It was a nice walk there and back. We passed a friendly donkey and a pasture with cows and horses. We had cows behind our cottage, too. We woke up to them calling for their breakfast. We really enjoyed our stay in Doolin.Read more
