An Inconceivable Excursion

We stayed in Galway for the past two days. Galway's best attraction is its night life. Since we are not really pub/nightclub people, we did not enjoy the city as much as we did its outlying attractions.

So, what we really enjoyed was our tour to the Cliffs of Moher (we used and would recommend Healy Tours http://www.burrenwalks.com/burrenandcliffsofmohertour.htm).

Our first stop was on the Connolly Family Farm where we got to feed a wild goat, walk along the Burren (literally meaning rocky place; basically a limestone covered area), and eat some cake with cream at Granny's house.

Our next stop was the Cliffs of Moher (pronounced "more"). Now these very cliffs were featured in a film we know and love: The Princess Bride. Remember the Cliffs of Insanity? Yep, they are one and the same. Thankfully, we didn't have to duel the Dread Pirate Roberts on the cliffs' edge. Our only struggle was against other tourists to get the best shots.

To end our tour, we stopped off at the Castle of Dunguaire.

Just like The Princess Bride, we started with a charming farm, were thrilled by the cliffs, and ended in fleeing a castle. Now, if only we could find an MLT, where the mutton is nice and lean...
