The Cliffs of Moher

 
The GPS takes us to a ferry on the trip between Killarney and Galway.

Getting off the ferry, we are directed to a one lane reural road that ha a few old stone buildings. The road is a bit of a roller coaster.

Eventually we find our way to the cliffs of Moher. O'Briens castle stands atop a prominent cliff.

The sun tries to peek out at times. The wind is very strong.It's very cold for June 30th.

On the trip to Galway, we see many castles.

Today will be a long driving day. We will see a famous mountain and abbey in Sligo, the Giant's Causeway, walk a vertiginous rope bridge over the sea at Balley castle and rest in Belfast.

The Ring of Kerry

We spent about nine hours going around the driving tours known as the Ring of Kerry and the Ring of Skellig.

It was a wrthwhile drive and a way to get our fill of the beautiful green hills and seascapes of Western Ireland.

We had lunch in a small fishing village. The seafood was fresh and very good.

Some of the old stone buildings are in good repair. Others have fallen into a state of disrepair.

Horses  like apples.

The sheep are sprayed various colors as a way to establish ownership, we believe.

You can see boats in this harbour from a high vantage point.

The Killarney National Park is a appears to be a rain forest environment with abundant moss and ferns.
