Ireland Hike, Day Three: Ireland Redeems Itself Spectacularly

We set off on our final hiking leg with some reservations. We even considered just skipping the hike and taking the bus straight to Ennis. But in the end we went through with it- and boy were we glad we did! We hiked from Doolin to the Cliffs of Moher, then grabbed a bus from the cliffs to Ennis. Words cannot really do this hike justice, plus I noticed that our last few posts are super wordy. So, here are some lovely pictures taken along the way.
               We walked along an old road that is now only used by farmers to reach their cattle.
                                          Out on the horizon you can see the Islands of Aran
                                         We took a break to eat some fudge with chili
                                                  Looking back at where we'd come from
                                           Better find a different way to go!
                                           One view of the Cliffs of Moher- it was pretty spectacular

Once we were done hiking we flagged down a bus (literally, we stood in the road and waved at it until it stopped and picked us up) and rode down to Ennis. This day, with it's beautiful sun and lovely vistas really made up for the struggle on the second day of hiking. We're really glad we didn't wimp out and skip it.
