The boat ride to Inisheer, the smallest of the Aran Islands, was smooth and when we arrived to the island we were surprised at the beauty of the place. It was exotic: white sandy beaches, clear blue water, the stone walls separating the fields, the Plassey Wreck, a lighthouse… all made up for the magic of the place.
After walking around for about 3 hours, we had to return to the peer, where some irish representation was taking place.
Our Jack B ferry, was delayed , giving me the chance to admire the Galway Hookers, which were docking in at the small peer.
For an extra 5 euro, the ferry gave us a 20 minutes ride under the Cliffs of Moher, but despite the wonderful landscape in the end I don’t think it was such a good idea.
Got all wet from the waves, and the boat was shaking quite a bit, so I got sea sick, and did not manage to take good photos, due to the number of tourists pushing everyone for that one PS photo.
I was glad when we reached land again.
Our next stop on the list was the Burren, and on the way, we made a stop to see the Cathedral and High cross in Kilfenora.
In the Burren we spent about 4 hours walking until sunset and after drove to Gort for dinner. Chinese food this time.
Our accommodation and the final destination for the day was Ashbrook Lodge in Oranmore.
