Doolin Travel Blogs

So yesterday I walked to the Cliffs from Doolin along the coast (recommended by the hostel caretakers versus taking a bus).  I believe I was trespassing the whole time as my walk included jumping over barricades, rivers, stone fences, past cows and other grazing animals with a curious glare, a…

Sept. 8, 2007:  Day 4 - Cliffs of Moher and Hunt for Yogi and Stephan               The day started at 8am with a shower, green apple and the equivalent of a Nutri-Grain bar.  I needed my energy since we’d be hiking the Cliff…

The Cliffs of Moher (the Great Wall of Thomond) and O'Brien's Tower, which stands out on a headland shows, the extent of the O'Brien influence on the history of the Celtic Tribes. The tower was built in 1835 by Cornelius O'Brien a descendent of Brian Boru, the High King of Ireland, and the O'Briens…

We traveled via bus to see the Cliffs of Mohr, however, as a result of the lovely rain, it wasn't really as visible as usual. Luckily we were protected by our amazing raingear provided by Pammy (aka our mom)! Moms have great insight! While we danced around in the rain at the tops of the cliffs, we …

Situated in County Clare and bordering the Burren Area, the Cliffs of Moher are one of Ireland's most spectacular sights. Standing 230 metres above the ground at their highest point and 8km long, the Cliffs boast one of the most amazin…

     We got up early today (ferry day), got all our stuff ready and went to wait outside for our 8:15am cab we had booked the day before.... the notoriously unreliable cab that is. So were waiting outside, we were booked on the 9am ferry back to the mainland. Well, 8:15 comes an…

After an early 7:30am breakfast, our bus departed an hour later for the Cliffs of Moher. They rise 668 feet above the Atlantic Ocean with the highest point at 702 ft. near the tower. On a clear day you can see across to the ARAN ISLANDS but we had a cloudy day with a little bit O' rain. There is a …

Weekend trips around Europe

Woke up around 9am and got ourselves ready to check out and drop off our bags in the car.  The bus arrived at 9:45am and we were off to the Cliffs of Moher and Doolin Caves.  The scenery just driving there was absolutely beautiful.  I can't even explain it.  I must say though,…

"I'll seek a four-leaved shamrock in all the fairy dells, And if I find the charmed laves, or, how I'll weave my spells! I would not waste my magic might on diamond, pearl, or gold, For treasure tires the weary sense, such triumph is but cold; But I would play the enchanter's part, in casting bliss around - Oh! not a tear, nor aching heart, should in the world be found!" By: Samuel Lover

The trip has drastically improved.  Yes, we missed our flight but when we got there, we had som amazing Irish stew and it was just a taste of things to come. Brice and I cancelled Paris to stay a few more days in Ireland.  It is so green here and I love the accents.  Things are not …

Day four: Cliffs of Moher and Doolin   There was so much more we wanted to do in the Killarney area, like explore the Killarney National Park [which is the largest National Park in Ireland]. Or go explore the Dingle peninsula, but I had enough of driving in that fog, I was hoping we’d see …

Yeah, we're back on the road again. Today was suppose to be a scenic drive around the Ring of Kerry, with stops at the Cliffs of Moher and a local sheep farmer's place for lunch. I was told that during the blooming season, the cliffs are bursting with colors from little flowers that grow out of all…

Pictures I took from Ireland, Scotland and other places.

I visited the Eastern Region and Dublin, the Capitol. I browse to the Guinness Storehouse, Temple Bar, The Hard Rock Cafe and Dublin Bay. Then I ventured to the Shannon Region to meet the Travbuddies at the Get Together and visited Bunratty Castle and Folk Park, Limerick, Blarney Castle and kissed the Blarney Stone and finalized the trip at Cork.
