... 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 ...

... other side of town, so we had another lovely walk through the rain to get there. The Guinness tour was similar to the Jameson tour, in that it was a little pricey (11 euro for the tour, testing lab and "free" pint). However, it was still a really fun thing to do. They were celebrating their 250 years in the building (1759-2009) so everything was fancied up a bit. The factory itself was seven stories high. There were exhibits on how to ...

... found the cave after following his dog who chased a rabbit into a narrow opening. After he found it he kept it a secret for forty years until he was about to die in the mid 1970's and finally let the world know of his secret. When cave explorers went into to cave they found the remains of many bears, which have since gone extinct in Ireland. The cave was a pretty cool adventure, but I was dissapointed because it wasnt as grandiose as something ...

... on the last flight to London going out that night. We patiently waited doing some airport shopping and taking little naps till it was time to head out. We did not get back to Regents till very early in the morning and I was very tired for class the next day. Though we had trouble getting home I would not have traded this for any other trip. I had a great time visiting Adam and Ireland was a beautiful and welcoming country. Love to my friends and family &lt;3

... the Hole in the Wall. 2 Euro Tenants is hard to beat so we stayed there all night and after 11 the pub turned into a dance club. Sunday: Checked out of our hostile this morning and visited the Huge Catholic church past Shop Street. Caroline, Cate and I bought books for the train ride back and then sat at a cafe for the rest of the day to unwind and have some tea.

... where the colours of the sea and sky were amazing. The whole Christmas trip was really good actually, C's family came to my Mum's and then he went home with them for a couple of days while I had quality time with my now retired Mum. The sunsets in both Carrick-on-Shannon and Galway were amazing on the 27th Dec. Then I had 2 nights in Galway where we caught up with loads of people which was great but not before I made a total eegit of myself - in fact ...

... Burren, a unique geological area scraped clear of soil during the ice age. Subsequent erosion has left mountains of flattened stone on which tiny amounts of soil support an amazing array of vegetation and wild flowers. We're too late in the year to see the full show, but we really enjoyed several Neolithic portal tombs called dolmans and the wild rocky landscape. We spent the afternoon exploring in a light mist heading home through Lisdoonvarna. In September they celebrate a ...

... it somehow. The elegant old decoration had a history. The dark wooden benches had seen some tales. And besides, the Guiness was bett** too. So, late we strayed as the conv**sation meand**ed from the political to the jocular. The straggl**s that we w**e, left the tired behind. So by the time of early morning, once the staff had finished cleaning, we decided to call it a night. The rain was still streaming, but by then it didn't matt**. The drunken warmth was ...

After an early 7:30am breakfast, our bus departed an hour later for the CLIFFS OF MOHER. They rise 668 feet above the Atlantic Ocean with the highest point at 702 feet near the tower. On a clear day you can see across to the ARAN ISLANDS but we had a cloudy day with a little bit o' rain. There is a castle like structure built in 1835, at the top called O'BRIEN'S TOWER. We were lucky enough to see a rainbow in the distance of the Aran Islands, which we could see a little bit. My ...
