Doolin, Ireland 16th - 20th, 2011

After leaving Dublin we headed to Doolin, this is a small village on the western coast of Ireland where the Cliffs of Moher are located.


Entrance to the village of Doolin, lots of tourist traffic in a one main street town


Connors Pub in Doolin, it had live music every night and was packed with tourists as it was one of the few places to eat in Doolin


Road to Doolin on the coast

  We went to the top of the cliffs on the first of our trips.  The Cliffs of Moher have just been made a UNESCO World Heritage Site and are very nice but we thought that the Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia was just as pretty.

The next day we took a boat ride to the Inisheer Islands to visit a small series of Islands that are off the coast.  On the way back we cruised along the coast below the Cliffs of Moher.


On the island we took a tour in a small pony cart, here I am trying to convince the pony that I am not too heavy for the cart.  He finally agreed to let me on.
