Day 4

Here we go, today the journey fron Galway to the Randy Leprechaun in Annascaul (the companys' own pub/hostel) right by Dingle.
This days journeying was to take us from one type of landscape to a completly different one. The once green countryside was to change dramatically into a land of slate, rockwalls and fairy circles. during the famine times of ireland apparently the english monarchy gave them discounts on their taxes for every mile of stonewall they would build, so there are walls in this area which are of no purpose at all, for example we visited a row ofstone walls which went straight into the ocean, very weird indeed. From those walls we went to a to visit a fairy circle in a strange landscape which was split into squares for miles....like this.......


Moving on the land was turning green once again and we went to visit the cliffs of Moher. At the moment there is a huge construction project going on at the cliffs to build a new tourist centre under the ground in order to keep it invisible and encourage the natural landscape to rule the area, what i'm getting at is that some of the places were off limits, but we could access 80% of the area and it was still quite a good place to visit.

Me with a bottle of pepsi down my top looking like a malformed boob!

Hmm well you cant see the boob very well here at all

After the cliffs we jumped on a small ferry with our bus for a quick trip to the other side of the water...nothing to say here.

On the way to our destination we passed through a little town for and evening lunch in a rest/pub where some of father ted was filmed and you got to pour your own guiness. A couple of driving hours later we arrived at the Randy Leprechaun for a night of some kareoke, pool, food and a spot of drinking.

I'll leave you with this image of Randy for this days travelling!

How nice!
