Today was our longest day and warmest day. The humidity here had us all sweating.

We started off by taking a ferry across the Shannon Estuary and drove to the Cliffs of Moher. Now I understand why so many people want to see them. 😮 🌊 Visually spectacular!!! The Cliffs of Moher sit astride the weird landscape of the Burren on one side and the Wild Atlantic Ocean on the other. They rise to a height of over 700ft at O’Brien’s Tower and run along the coast of Clare for almost 8 miles. Crazy cool!

Hugh then zipped us off to see Poulnabrone Dolman (Portal Tomb) that was constructed 5000 years ago. I can’t quite wrap my brain around being next to something so old. The Burren landscape setting with the tomb sitting on top was spectacular!

We are now across the Shannon River from the town of Killaloe. Tomorrow, we’re taking a river cruise and visiting one of Ireland’s old whiskey distilleries. Alan says he needs picture proof of me tasting some of the whiskey 🥃, but it’s not my type of drink. I’ll see if I can make myself do it. 😂

My first goal of tonight is to pray our hotel room cools down so I can sleep 🛌 😴 💤Read more
