Ennis - B&B hard to find. For a reason.
Time to stop avoiding driving in Ireland and pack the car to head for Ennis stopping at Dunguaire Castle and then the Cliffs of Moher along the way. The weather cooperated, it was blue skies and sunny and the view was amazing. The castle was just a quick stop along the way but the Cliffs were A-MAZING.
