Ireland Day 13, Ennis, across the Cliffs of Moher, to Galway

Still pretty exhausted from the night before, we headed out of Ennis early in hopes of getting to the cliffs early and have some time to spend in Galway.

The cliffs themselves are breathtaking, falling off to the ocean 700 feet below. We were a bit disappointed by the over crowding of tourists (busses and busses) and the limiting concrete paths and walls that were built along the cliffs – having already been to so many places where we were given the opportunity to just wander off and explore.

We did manage to arrive in Galway pretty early, so we wondered around the city center in the rain for a bit. We ate a quick lunch at “The King’s Head” – the historic pub is full of artifacts from 17th century and the building was a gift to the executioner who beheaded King Charles I of England.

After a much needed afternoon nap, we headed back to town for a night out. Along the way we met a local who took us around to the best spots and bought us far too many pints.
