Today was our bus tour to the Cliffs of Moher on the West Coast of Ireland. They are not the tallest cliffs in Ireland at about 750 feet, but they are the most accessible and therefore most visited. They were beautiful, of course, if any of you have seen pictures of them before. Eroded and staggered, picturesque. The cows grazing by the cliffs were a nice touch. We were there for about an hour and a half, just walking up and down the cliffs, trying to not get blown off(as we learned some people have in the past).
The rest of the tour took us through the countryside(cows everywhere) and down the west coast. We stopped at a few photo stops including a castle, a deserted abbey, and an area on the coast covered in rocks that once used to be the ocean floor(sorry, forgot what it was called). We also discovered that surfing is popular on the west coast because the water is rather warm from the gulf stream.
It was a relaxing day. I'm glad we planned these bus tours amidst all the walking. It's nice to get away from the cities too and see the green countryside.
