On our third day we left Galway to head towards Doolin in county Clare. We hopped on the bus and people were beginning to look weary from the night before. We had a spectacular day of scenery and new experiences, such as fairy rings and tombs. Nigel's highlight from Doolin was playing poker with the 'locals.'
Our first stop was at another ruin. The church was built in memory of a son who died at 21.
Here is a photo of the church wall. If you look carefully you can see an outline of a boat. This was etched in the stone wall about 300 years ago. Tagging in its hey day!
We then went off to see Pol na Brone Dolmen (a portal tomb, 5000yrs old) in the Burren area, county Clare. Note the limestone everywhere. The big rock is called the Rock of Clare. Very rocky!
We stopped in a small town to buy lunch for a beach picnic later on. I had to throw in the boat photo for dad, we were told to look out for the 'hookers' which was the fishing boats.
Nige also wanted this photo up. Interesting, if you drive over the edge, you will end up in the water. There are two words that some up this sign: Feckin ejjit!
We stopped here before lunch to walk around a fairyring and make a wish. If the fairies like you, they may grant your wish. If not, the opposite will happen. Considering I got food poisoning that night, maybe they didnt like me??? It could have been Nigel's fault though, as he decided to walk right through the centre of the ring, not around the outside as advised. The rest of the trip, Nige was blamed for bad weather and events.
Here is a beach we stopped at for a picnic lunch. Beautiful, sunny weather.
The Cliffs of Moher in county Clare were breathtaking. My favourite place in Ireland. There is a castle perched on the top .
