The Cliffs of Moher with chauffeurdrive Ireland

I hate going on about the weather but unfortunately it is causing so much trouble, not only here in Ireland but in many areas of Europe, that everybody is talking about it. Let me say first of all that we here in my local area have been very lucky so far. We have had no snow and our roads are passable. The greatest danger for us is black ice in the morning or late evening. Many roads in other parts of the country are impassable. The major roads are being gritted and salted but the secondary and minor roads are deadly. Tomorrow i have a request to bring a couple, a mother and daughter, to the Cliffs of Moher and i am going to give it a shot if things stay the way they are this evening. This couple are from the USA and they have to fly out on Friday morning and they really wanted to see the cliffs before they go back. I will try to make it happen but only if i think it is safe.
Today was bitterly cold...but what a beautiful bright and sunny day it was. We had a cloudless sky all day, crisp and fresh, and as i drove along the road beneath the mountains on the southern shores of Galway Bay i could feel nothing but gratitude for being alive. It was that that made me feel that i had to try to bring these ladies to see the Cliffs tomorrow. If the weather is the same it will be a real treat for them.
The cliffs are one of Ireland's major attractions and i never get tired of going there. To walk up along the mountainside, with the Aran islands offshore in the mighty Atlantic below, is always special. The sea-birds circling hundreds of feet below look like tiny dots and the waves turning to a white froth on the rocks look so clean and fresh. O Brien's tower at the top of the cliffs stands guard as it has for centuries and the whole area is a credit to those who have transformed this place in recent years from what was in many ways a dangerous place to visit into what is now a very safe place indeed. The new visitor centre is a great facility with a very good restaurant with good food, a shop with a good selection of Irish goods, nice clean toilet facilities, and a great little coffee bar where you can have soup and sandwiches and many more snacks. You will still see the occasional idiot climbing over the barriers and demonstrating what it is like to have been born without a brain but when they do fall over the edge, as does happen on occasion, they discover too late that they cannot fly after all. I do not think i need to stress the importance of staying on the right side of the barriers as it was erosion that helped to create these cliffs in the first place and that erosion continues with chunks of the cliffs dropping into the ocean far below.
I look forward to getting there tomorrow if the weather permits and i will let you all know how i get on. I am sure that some of my readers will already be replaying their visit to the Cliffs and wishing that they could be going there with me tomorrow. Maybe we can do it again someday. You will be more than welcome.
