• Cliffs of Moher and Burren

The cliffs are dramatic, majestic and powerful. We walked along the top trail, which luckily is protected from the edge by the built up trail with granite slabs. I then took a one hour boat tour that takes you close to the cliffs, again 🐟 was being careful with the rough water to ensure no 🤮 and stayed ashore. There were lots of birds along the cliffs, including cute puffins that were unfortunately too quick to be photographed.

    There were Aran islands visible in the distance where you can take 1 hour ferry to and do day island hopping or stay overnight. One of these islands is portrayed in the movie “Banshees of Inisherin”. Next time we should visit them! We then drove to the nearby Burren, which is the moonlike landscape of limestone.
