Bunratty, Cliffs of Moher Topside & on to Doolin

So we set out for Bunratty & our next stop over - the Musical town of Doolin.  The drive was mostly National Roads & Motorway.  About the time we arrived at Bunratty, I realized that I'd left the travel binder back on the desk at Ballyseede, ho-hum...  We dug around to see if we had anything with there phone number on them so we could "ring them up" when we arrived in Doolin.

Antonio & I at the Northeast tower of Bunratty Castle

Bunratty Castle - does not look that big... until you start walking around inside.  Up & down winding stairs then you walk into the Earls Quarters, a great hall with a fire pit in the middle of the room, a dining hall, a library like room with fancy wood work ceiling, out onto a tower.  The place has never ending rooms to accommodate the Earl & family.

The keep area of Bunratty

This is one of the ceiling fixtures in the castle.  It had some very interesting artwork.

We also walked around the castle grounds were there are bars, barns, stores & homes from depicting various time periods.

One view of the top side of the Cliffs of Moher.  These are absolutely amazing & needless to say, my fear of heights was in full force.

Yeah, these two really like to get on my nerves... There isn't much behind my husband except the Atlantic Ocean from where is standing.  I had to walk away!

Another view - going north.

A look out wall at the cliffs.

On to Doolin, when we arrive at the B&B, we find out that the staff at Ballyseede Castle have already contacted the B&B about our notebook for the trip.  She ask what we want to do about it.  I asked if they couldn't send it to us, could they at least fax us a few specific pages.  We would send them money if they post it to us or they already have our charge info as well.  Low & behold, when we call them back, they already posted it to us (& charge the post as well). Irish hospitality has been wonderful & the Irish do love their visitors. We should have the book back by Monday.

We ate at O'Connor's in Doolin for dinner - enjoyed the company of a couple on Holiday from south of Berlin & some music.

So the adventure continues...
