Welcome in Doolin
... to town in the afternoon, basically just a little street with a pub dand some shops, and then walked out to the pier. Even though the cliffs were farther away, I preferred this vantage point, away from all photo-ops and closer to the waves crashing against the rock. I would like to watch the sun set there some day.

Dingle to Doolin
... through the day before. Found it and had a Big Mac!
