These famous cliffs have hosted many a tourist over time, but more importantly, a scene of Harry Potter 6 was filmed there...so that's all I was concerned with when I first got off the bus...(just kidding...?). Honestly, these natural and beautiful carvings into the coast were a sight to see, and I'll never forget them, the breeze, the clear blue water, the puffins nesting at the base, and just taking in the scenery itself. To God be the glory, cause He sure did a darn good job with this.
Pictures can't quite describe, but here's an idea...
But it was SO worth it!!!
This place is a wonder and a must-see. I am still in a state of awe at the beauty of these cliffs, so perfectly carved by the waves over the years.
After these, we drove to a castle and folk park, where we were welcomed by traditionally dressed women baking apple pies, scones, churning butter, feeding animals...the list goes on. We walked through the castle and were greeted by what seemed like thousands of German and French tourists...and the castle itself I guess? The place was very cool, but I think I was just too tired to enjoy it since we got there at what felt like naptime. But it was still fun!
Thatched houses:
The castle! (Kind if felt like Monty Python and the Holy grail...proceed with the puns.)
Then we had a 2 hour drive to Killarney...truthfully, I slept. But when we arrived, we were greeted by a cute town with pubs, live music, and friendly people. We decided to go to a show, which was slightly pricey, but SO worth it.
Irish dance! Music! What's better?
Then it was off to the pub for more love music, which took the form of a jam session with tin whistles, accordions, mandolins, and guitars in the side bar of the pub. It was lovely, and they encouraged us to sing along and dance. Woohoo!
Oh, and for your enjoyment:
We are looking good, and can't wait for the Dingle Peninsula tomorrow. Goodnight from Ireland!
