Main impressions:
Aillwee Caves - wow! One of the only caves around with not only prehistoric
(1500 years old)
bear bones, but also a "bear nest". (They were very proud of it
- but didn't have any pictures I could buy of it?) And I think those
were my first
stalactites/stalagmites.
And the lighting of the caves deserved the award, it got.
The
Cliffs of Moher
are supposed to be very special - 8 km long,
200 m high, a beautiful sight. Unfortunately we got some of the worst
rain on the trip while we were there...
The Dolmen
(a 5000 year old tomb) was a pretty special experience too. Part of it
was being told, that we
would be trespassing if we walked over to it - but the bus still stopped,
so we could get off?
We wanted to see "Irish music/singing/dancing and folk drama"
(Siamsa) this night. Unfortunately we learned too late, that there was a
phone booking system for this show - and it seemed everybody else had used
it, because the show was sold out...
Recommended:
Aillwee caves. - Phone-booking of the Siamsa if you want to see the show.
