Backpacking Trip: day 24!

Alright sooo…the day began with me waking up after a really good sleep at our hostel in Galway. Once I woke up I headed to new big coach where we met up with the southern Ireland tour group. Once we left we made a quick stop for snacks and bathroom before continuing on to a small castle overlooking Galway Bay where we made a quick photo stop. From there we went a bit further along the coast until we got to the Burren Landscape. Burren means rugged in the Irish Gaelic language, and it was basically a formation of strange, jagged rocks along the coast which used to be the bottom of the ocean millions of years ago. It was pretty neat – we walked around it for about a half hour before getting back on the bus. About 45 minutes later we stopped for lunch in the small town of Doolin where I got a chicken salad sandwich at a small restaurant. After that we made our way to the most anticipated stop of the day – The Cliffs of Moher. Even though it was a bit cloudy, the 800 ft. cliffs still looked amazing. We spend about an hour walking around them and getting a bunch of photos. Afterwards we boarded the coach and drove for about 3 hours to the small town of Anascaul where we are going to stay the night. I just took a shower, and now we are getting ready to head out into the small village and see what there is to do.
