Galway, Ireland

We had to hit up another peninsula and this one was worth it! It was on the way to the Cliffs of Moher, right next to the Dingle Peninsula. There were cliffs at the end of this peninsula that were pretty cool, but we hadn't seen anything yet, because we hadn't been to the Cliffs of Moher yet.. After this we headed for the Cliffs of Moher and they were simply amazing to see! We were there for a while and it was raining at first but then it cleared up completely. We hiked along the edge of the cliffs for a while and then back. Our next stop was to head towards Galway but we stayed in a town south of that for the night.

The town was a lot of fun to walk around during the day and even more fun at night when everyone was roaming the pubs and clubs. There was one new club that was inspired by the movie Coyote Ugly and I got to ride the mechanical bull for free, that was the highlight of my night!

There are three islands near Galway and we took the ferry to the largest of the three to stay for the night. The island was beautiful. It was a sight of old Ireland. There were old property lines defined by stacked stones, old cottages, and there were ruins of an old fort right on the cliffs. We rented bikes and rode around the island to the cliffs to see the fort. It was a gorgeous day out, so everything was beautiful from the cliffs. I have to say these cliffs were up there with the Cliffs of Moher, about half the size, but these cliffs were shear and had great views of the island and the ocean. (check out the pictures). The hostel we stayed at was very cozy, the lady that owned it was very nice and wanted to know all about our trip. Overall it was a great trip to the island, and I was very thankful for the wonderful weather.
