Today we left Kinvara behind and made our way into the Burren of county Clare. In this picture above we have Carolyn and Gavin posing on the Corkscrew Hill. The limestone mountains of the Burren and Galway Bay are in the background. The day today was beautiful with sunshine all the way, and temperatures in the mid twenties.
The mighty Cliffs of Moher border the Burren on the west side, and here we have Gavin and Carolyn enjoying the view high above the Atlantic.
Gavin just had to get a real live close up of the Cliffs, as you can see in this photo, as he lies on his tummy 600ft above the ocean below.
Taking in the views from further up the Cliffs.
Adare is one of Ireland's most popular and picturesque little towns, and was once the home of the Earl and Countess of Dunraven. Here we have Carolyn and Gavin, posing in front of a monument, and fountain, which, ironically were donated to the townspeople by another Caroline, Caroline the Countess of Dunraven. The church in the background is a really beautiful one and there since the thirteen hundreds. Well worth a visit.
This lovely picture shows the main street in Adare, with the quaint thatched cottages in the background on the right hand side.
Finally, another great picture of Carolyn and Gavin, showing the stand alone rock below known as the Stack. This is the breeding ground of hundreds of thousands of birds.
