Doolin

Man, I love these Irish breakfasts at the B&Bs! This morning was scrambled eggs with smoked salmon and fresh baked soda bread. Danny scored big by getting some soda bread for the road! First on our agenda this morning was the 26 mile coastal route of the Dingle Peninsula. Most of the scenic stops were of eighth and ninth century ruins. We hit all of the main stops and even some that were off the beaten path. From there most of us slept during the long drive to Doolin. At one point we even boarded a ferry to shorten our drive. I wouldn't say the ferry was necessarily a welcome break since the splendor of the views never wore their welcome. Although the views today seemed more breathtaking than the previous day's only because of the lack of fog and cloud cover. Our last stop before Doolin was the cliffs of Moher. "pronounced more because as the travel guide said who would want to visit the cliffs of less" The ladies that welcomed us at our B&B in Doolin were extremely charismatic! They were a mother-daughter duo that were nothing short hysterical! We finished off the night at a local pub called O'Connors with fish and chips. The awesome thing about this B&B was the view no less than hundred yards outside my window of what remained of a castle ruin!
