10 day self-drive tour of Ireland : October 2009
From the Cliffs of Moher, we drove a short distance to the village of Doolin, which is near the port for the Aran Islands ..
Inside the Music Shop .. I remember the chappie not being the friendliest (maybe he was having a bad day as we found the Irish to be the most friendliest of people) … but he did let me take a few photographs ..
We drove a short way to the ferry port ..
Aran Islands in the distance and beyond …
Very bleak and barren! This is part of The Burren, which I found fascinating!! It’s a vast limestone plateau ..
Cliffs of Moher in the distance ..
Limestone pavement .. glaciation, wind and rain erosion have formed limestone pavements with deep crevices known as ‘grykes’
The Burren and the Burren Perfumery – hard to believe there is a perfumery in this region, but there is ….. next 🙂
…
Lovely pictures as always! Make me feel like I was on the trip with you. And that purple (or is it pink) thatch roof sweater shop- drooooool worthy ! Stunning
