2017-12-26 The second day in Ireland I got up early to join a tour around the west of Ireland. I had the fortune of meeting Alanna, a traveler from Minnesota, in Dublin for a couple of days. After talking a bit we realised that she was of Swedish orogin, so I got to teach her some small Swedish words and hopefully evoked a feeling of wanting to know more about her Swedish past. 

Me and Alanna at the Cliffs of Moher.  We started of with a visit to the very picturesque town of Kinvara in the Galway Bay in Ireland where we got to see some really beautiful houses and a great view of the bay.

The houses in Kinvara are amazing!  We continued on along the cost towards The cliffs of Moher, but made a quick stop at the Baby Cliffs. 

Me at the Baby Cliffs shot by Alanna.  When we arrived at the Cliffs of Moher I was totally stunned about the work of nature. These cliffs are totally amazing and I’m so happy I got to see them. If you go visit, you have to be prepared to walk quite a bit and there are many steps and passages that lead you along the cliffs.

Back in Dublin me and Alanna went to a Irish restaurant in Temple bar and ended the day with a traditinal Guinness! 

Finished off the day with a stop at The Temple Bar in the area of Temple bar.
