Gotta Love Galway!

Cliffs of Moher
We all started the day off at about 9:00am and had breakfast. The free breakfast which was included in our hostel was a piece of jelly toast. It was alright but it was madness in the kitchen when everyone was trying to make toast with just two toasters. Afterwards we went to the reception desk to buy our tickets for the Cliffs of Moher tour. We decided to take the tour that took up the full day since we didn’t have anything else planned. We walked to the coach station and boarded the bus. It was a big coach bus and it was pretty full. It took us to a lot of other places like an old castle and an old church. The tour was SO much fun! We had a crazy bus driver named Desmond who was hilarious. He kept cracking jokes the whole time and it was amazing. We stopped at multiple places to take pictures which was great. The countryside of Ireland is absolutely beautiful! It is just what people picture with the green fields and rocks. It is so strange because there are just limestone walls all over the place. I do not know how they got there or why there are so many of them. We eventually made it to the Cliffs of Moher and we got an hour and a half to be up there. There was a wall and sign that said “Please do not go beyond this point”. Well, we definitely did not listen to that. We followed the path to the top of one of the cliffs and it was great! It had amazing views and I am really glad we went. It was a little windy which freaked me out but otherwise the path was pretty wide so we were ok. We were really lucky because it was rainy the whole day but once we got to the cliffs the sky opened up. It was perfect! I couldn’t have asked for it to be any better. The tour ended at about 6:30pm which was a little later than expected but that was ok. The tour was definitely worth it and I am so glad we did it. After we got back we were all pretty tired so I relaxed a little bit, showered and got some dinner. When we were all rested up we ran into the guys in the room next door to us and they were a lot of fun. We hung out in there room for a bit and had a drink. They were from Dublin and it was fun talking to them. They were going to Club K so we went along. We all danced and it was great! It was crazy because the club was really crowded and it was a Tuesday night. After awhile people kind of went their own way and we met up later at the hostel. I was really tired so I went to bed at about 2:30am. I didn’t really sleep though because everyone was coming back at different times throughout the night. It wasn’t a big deal but it was a little crazy! Overall it was an amazing day seeing Ireland and meeting some locals!

I'm sure the sign is just a suggestion
