Leaving the Island
This is a top pick! ... goodbye to the assortment of brief but interesting friendships that had formed over the course of four days. If I could, I would fold up Inishmore, along with Rosin and Sarah, Glen and James, and shove it into an extra corner of my backpack. But there's ...

Aran Islands (specifically Inishmor)
... . If you were in the States, it would be a paved road that small buses could go up or at least even, paved steps. But not in Ireland. As with most of what we've seen, you take your life in your hands to do things. The start was fine but about 1/2 way up ...
The Aran Islands

By Bike
I went for a coffee at the supermarket today, mainly because it was 8:30 and the coffee shop was not open yet. Actually nothing was really open at that hour. The town very much thrives on the tourists, and the first ferry arrives at 12:30, so ...
The Amazing Aran Islands
We really wanted to see the Aran Islands. You can do one in a day trip but if you want to explore more than one you might want to spend the night. We lucked out and found a B&B on one of the Aran Islands in our wee B&B book. Jim called "The ...
