Cliffs of Moher Round 2 and Getting Lost in The Burren

Monday, September 26th: My parents came and picked me at 8:30am thinking we had to drive to Dublin to pick up their bags. Luckily, Delta said they would deliver the bag from the airport to their hotel so instead out day was completely free and open! I took my parents to a very cute cafe that my friends and I go to a lot and we had breakfast and coffee while we decided what to do with our day. We decided since it was a nice day out and we had the entire day free we would go to the Cliffs of Moher.

First, we went to a really cool Abbey/Cemetery along the way.

Next we decided to go straight to the Cliffs before lunch (getting there around 11am) because that way we could probably get there while it was still good weather and we would miss all the tour buses. When we got there it wasn't raining and it wasn't nearly as windy as when I went the first time! It was so much fun to see the cliffs again! After, we went to the town near by called Doolin where we had lunch at the same pub I had had lunch on my tour. It was just as great as before! Then we went into a few little shops and looked at sweaters and hats before going into a fudge shop and buying really delicious fudge!

Next, mom wanted to go to The Burren, which is a giant national park near the cliffs. So she typed into the GPS "The Burren". We drove for about 2 hours in total on little tiny "one way" roads because basically the GPS was just taking us to the center of the national park...not to any landmarks or really anything we wanted to see haha. But, we ended up finding a Perfumery/Tea Room where we stopped and looked at teas and soaps.

Then we stopped in a really cute port town with fun colored shops and boats. Finally, we decided to head back to Galway to get ready before dinner.

We found a restaurant in our guide book that specialized on sea food (just like everywhere else in Galway...haha) and decided to go there for dinner.Once we parked, we walked around trying to find the restaurant but after 10 or so minutes of walking on the street is was supposed to be on we finally asked someone and they said the restaurant had gone out of business. But, he recommended somewhere else and we decided to go there. It was a really cute little fancy restaurant that had amazing seafood! It was so good!
