    Day 3: doolin -> killarney

    June 2, 2017 in Ireland ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C

    Today was a lot more chill. When we checked in to the Doolin Inn yesterday, the guy working there recommended for us to visit the Doolin Cave. We decided to go to the first tour at 10 am. First, we got free breakfast at the inn which was nice. The cave was cool, super far down and home to a 8m stalagtite, weighing about 10,000 tons. There's also a stream going through the cave, making it a live cave. Our tour guide, Jim, was super nice and funny and seriously loved his job. He is very knowledgeable of that cave. There was also a nature walk and a cafe so we did those. The lady at the cave place then told us an easier way to get to Killarney, which involved a ferry across the River Shannon. We drove to the ferry but stopped along the way to take pictures of the ocean. The past few days we have been driving down the Wild Atlantic Way, which has provided a lot of great views. The ferry was also cool, I drove the car onto the boat, parked it and we got to walk around while we crossed the river. Then we started driving to Killarney but stopped again at a cute town for a late lunch/dinner meal. From there we went to the B&B we are staying at. The host is super nice and told is how to get to the town and also there's a Killarney national park tour that picks us up from here and drops us off here so she's booking that for us for tomorrow. We went to town, got ice cream and walked around the town. This town is less cute and more touristy and urban. But they have a Gloria Jeans coffee place hiring full time so if I don't come back you know where I am.Read more
