On the left is a picture of the Laughlin group at the Cliffs of Mohr, you really can't see the breathtaking view in the background, but this picture was taken past the wall that is to protect you from falling. The picture below was taken of the whole group at the Galway Horse Races that night.

Details
Depart Killarney and travel north through the village of Listowel to Tarbert. Take a 20-minute ferry ride across the River Shannon estuary and drive along the coastline of County Clare to view the Cliffs of Moher, one of the country’s most magnificent rock formations that rise to heights of almost 700 feet above the churning Atlantic swells. Pass through the Burren Country, an area of rocky limestone hills where a number of unique flowers thrive. This region also contains many dolmens, prehistoric monuments formed by large limestone slabs. Continue north to Galway and embark on a panoramic tour to see the principal sights of the city. A drive around will take you to the large modern cathedral set on an island on the River Corrib. See the Spanish Arch in the Claddagh area, formerly a fishing village, the City Museum, National University of Galway and the Cathedral of Our Lady, which is built on at the site of the former county jail. Then check into your hotel and enjoy the remainder of the afternoon at leisure before dinner. You may choose to relax in your hotel or spend some time around Eyre Square, the hub of the city. Most of the shops are within easy reach and there are also many quaint pubs where Irish traditional music is played.
For those of you looking for some fun and excitement; we have made arrangements for the motor coach to take you to the Galway Equestrian Races and gain admission for an early evening of fun and excitement which begins at 5:00P and lasts until 8:00P. |
