... cliffs. If the height isn't awe-inspiring enough, the proximity in which you can approach the edge is. Walking along the edge has proven to be one of the most outrageous things I have done to this day. You litearlly walk along this cliff edge and look down only to see a complete vertical drop to the ocean. Most of it is fenced off, but there is a certain area that those who are willing enough can cross over and hike their way ...

... Breakfast everywhere in this overly expensive country is 10 euros alone, so why not get the mini luxury of a B and B, privacy, cleanliness, and hospitality and catering...all for in reality, 10 euros! We went to the first place we saw, got a price, and bartered the sweet old man down 10 euros each. Beautiful breakfast in the morning included. <br><br>So it wouldnt be a normal day if we didnt get lost for minimum an hour in Ireland ...

... the museum covered all of Irish history, the coolest exhibit by far was titled "Kings and Sacrifice", and was dedicated to the age of early kings around the turn of the century. In there, they had a number of really old bodies that had been found in peat fields, and were completely preserved as a result (skin, hair, organs, etc). Though it was a little creepy (namely when they still had eyes), it was definitely something that you don't ...

... a site to behold. We walked around the tourist part, but we were soon done with that and decided to venture off the beaten path a bit... Now I am sure you all know that I am pretty accident prone, so when we went to the area that was "off limits" (though there were a ton of people hopping the wall) I was a bit scared, but I survived and got the best pictures of the day from it. It was really neat to be off of the pavement and away from the walls ...

... of each trailer and began trying to coax us over to his business, telling us to ignore the other! We went to both (and got a better price by doing so!). They obviously have quite a business rivalry! The company we chose has been in business since 1970, but the second guy just opened a couple of years ago.<br><br>We had to wait awhile (the ferries from Doolin are very dependent upon the tides), so we browsed some of the ...

... I'm still finding it hard to believe, but we finished the 10K race. National coverage of the event included multiple minutes of my colleague (Natalie or Gnat, the chicken) and I (the egg) running together and having a chance to voice our support for WER and its chicken farm project in Kenya, which was wonderful for the agency/cause. I had never run a 10K, much less a 10K through the centre of a major city. Running past Buckingham Palace ...

... the quaint stores and used the internet at the library to book a hotel for the evening. We continued onward to Limerick and then through to Ennis. Finally, we reached the coast. Our first stop was made at a cliff overlooking the Atlantic. The strong wind and rough seas made it popular with kite boarders, kayakers, and surfers. We watched in awe as they tackled the extreme conditions while enjoying a lunch consisting of the ...

After dropping the car back off at the airport and getting another taxi back to the train station, we got on a train that would end up in Limerick after one switch. We took a bus from Limerick to the Shannon Airport were our next car was waiting for us. The driving went much smoother this time since I was now used to it. We had decided to rent a car to get to Doolin because the only other way to get there ...
