Travel: Ireland / Cliffs of Moher

A two hour drive today out to the Cliffs of Moher, which are on the edge of the Burren. A beautiful scene looking up and down the coast and out over the Atlantic. There at mid-day, so the sun wasn’t quite on the cliffs at the time.

If you keep traveling in that direction, you will his the good ol’ USA.

Directly behind me from the 2nd picture above is O’Brien’s Tower, which was constructed in 1835.

For you Harry Potter fans, that cave is where Harry and Dumbledore found the locket…

To give you a perspective as to how tall the cliffs are, I’ve circled some people standing at the top. Apparently it is the place to fling yourself off if you’ve been rejected by your love. I think it would do the job.

If you ever make it to Lisdoonvarna, County Clare, I can earnestly recommend to you The Roadside Tavern. (Pictures not mine) I had the lamb, which was outstanding. I sat at the table there in the middle, although I did not line the beers up like that.

Your’s truly looking particularly windblown and in need of a shave.

  1. I decided years ago that if I was on vacation I wouldn’t shave or it isn’t a vacation, a journey, I must say it would be very tempting to para-glide off that cliff. Spectacular.

    1. I think you would get a very long ways paragliding off that cliff. I just don’t know that there would be anywhere to land other than the Atlantic.

  2. Beautiful photos! Keep relaxing and being a tourist. Looks like an Ireland trip is being added to my bucket list.
