It was very difficult to wake up Saturday after having such a busy past few days but the thought of seeing more of Ireland pulled me out of bed. We left at about 9am and headed down many more curvy, hilly, country Irish roads. We made our first stop at another film village where they filmed "The Field". I have yet to see this movie but I am really excited to now. We started heading up in elevation to a land called the Burren. This area was full of flat rocks and their was even a ancient burial ground we saw that was around the same age as Stonehenge. As we drove we started down the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. Here we saw the most beautiful (and biggest!) waves I have ever seen. They were sooo cool! The sound of the ocean was just so powerful and the way the waves came up and hit the rocks just below the cliff was just amazing. It was one of those scary/breathtaking moments. The waves here in Ireland are actually really famous for surfing and here you can see the
Aileen's. We left and then ate in Doolin and I had an amazing bowl of Tomato soup. From here we headed up to my favorite part of my trip-The Cliffs of Moher (pronounced More). I can't even describe them, but they are absolutely beautiful (see the picture!). A panoramic shot of them was actually used for the Harry Potter 6 movie. Saturday was super windy, especially up on the cliffs so we were having fun trying to hold our hair down :) Afterwards, we headed to Killarney for the night. The hostel was nice and that night we went out to a restaurant where I enjoyed some fresh mussels (they were really good!). We didn't stay out to late though because at this point we were all absolutely exhausted and we needed our rest for day 3 of the tour!
