day 4-Doolin

Sorry, I have not blogged in a few days. I was staying in Bunratty in County Clare. The internet service was very sketch there. But, I stayed in 2 very nice bed and Breakfasts. Heard some good Irish music at Durty Nelly's, went to the Nights, and had a midevil dinner in the castle. In my stay there I met some really outstanding Irish lads and lasses, who were very inviting and hospitable to this old American girl. They showed me some of the local fun and also, I met 2 lovely 2omen in my B&B who gave me some ideas of where my next destination will be.
I had wnated to go to Galway, so that I could go to the Aran Islands, but I also wnated to go to the cliffs of Moher and the burrn. They suggested I drive to Doolin and do the crusie to the Arran Islands and then it does the cliffs of Moher on the way back. I thought that was a great idea, but I could not get Doolin on my GPS. Fortunately, I was able to get Lahinch and I knew I had to go thru there to get Doolin. After a long drive down very narrow roads with cars coming at you at 120 km( I think that is about 75 miles an hour). I stopped a few times to get some pictures of the gorgeous fields, trying not to get hit by oncoming cars and going splat.
I finally made it to Doolin, checked out the times and the costs of when the boats go out in the morning. I have to be at the dock at 9:30 am, so up for breakfast by 8am and out the door.
