... of gannets. That in itself is a memorable sight but consider the fact that the wingspan of a gannet is 6 feet across.<br><br>Next it is a quick jaunt over to a small landing dock on Great Skellig Island. You are allowed about 2 hours to visit the site. It is a steep and unprotected hike up to the beehive huts near the top. Many people have a difficult time navigating the steep steps. There are no ...

... which was quickly on my jeans, with my lack of balance- complete with fertility stone on the top - don't worry, i didn't even touch it!<br><br>We drove past the sleeping Giant, an island that, well, looks like someone lying down and it's kinda big! Then to the Kilmalkeder church, a ruined abbey, with celtic crosses and more Non stones that predate the written word like we found in Wales! We also saw a grave with a can of Guiness ...

... at the Railway Hostel,in a cute three-person room and just relaxed tonight...Because ours burnt out the night before, the first thing we needed to do was find a hair straightener when we woke up because heaven forbid Haley, Nicole and I not having a straightener while backpacking. Thats just how we roll while we're backpacking. <br><br>There are sooooo many rainbows here. We saw five yesterday. The sky is pitch black with a small ray of ...

... farm into a ruin with overgrown fields. It is in a prime location overlooking the bay and would be a lovely spot for a B&amp;B.<br><br>We had another (expensive, but tasty) meal at the ferry restaurant &#8211; Angela very kindly shouted us all with a 100 euro note that she had been saving for a special occasion. She entertained the ladies with tales about the magnetic effects of her latest online acquisition too.

... around the city a bity looking for a parking lot. This was our first experience with parking in "pay and show" lots. You purchase a ticket for some amount of time, a ticket pops out and you display it on your dashboard. <br><br>We headed over for the tour, and ended up in the back of the bus. This was ok, as you had a little extra time to prepare for photo opportunities that were rushing by! I can't remember our tour guide's ...

... rope bridge is usually put out that people walk across in the summer. Its taken down in the winter. We also went to the Giants Causway and had plenty of time thier for lunch and to walk a huge portion of it. It was very windy and also rainy but it was a lovely walk and i got lots of pictures of the Giants causeway. It was a brillant time.. Then it was off to Belfast where we had plenty of time to go shopping and get something to eat. I ended up having an Ostrich burger and it ...

... friday morning I was wrecked, so again it was a breakfast buffet and a full Irish. We hit the pool and hot tub again for one last swim before we hit the road. On the way out of Killarney we swung by the Torc waterfall, it was good to see.On the way home we stopped in Cashel for a spot of lunch and saw the Rock Of Cashel. Many hours later we arrived in Dublin! China here I come!

... specifically the Dunloe Gap area. The drivers were a brother and sister team who lived on a farm/cattle ranch in the area. Our ride went up to the top of the mountains and down to the lake along the Gap of Dunloe. Very pretty scenery and interesting conversation. We ended at one of the lakes where we picked up a motor boat for a trip along the lakes of ...

... been so spectacularly amazing we thought our rich vein of accommodation couldn&#8217;t go on, but the price was right and for that Nanna and Amber felt like royalty in getting to share a four poster bed. We were also treated to some great entertainment not long after our arrival, when our host invited us to sit in the lounge room while she rolled up a long rug to reveal a polished but well-worn wooden floor and then proceeded to ...
