Cliffs of Moher Day Tour and Last day in Dublin

On Wednesday, my mom and I decided to venture out of Dublin to go check out the Cliffs Of Moher. Since my mom's all time favorite movie is the Princess Bride, we thought this was a perfect tour to take. The Cliffs of Moher or the Cliffs of Insanity are the cliffs that Wesley climbed in pursuit for Buttercup and where the duel with Spaniard happened.

I will say the cliffs were beautiful and I will throw some pictures on here but lets just give you a little synopsis on our day tour:

We had to be at our pickup (only a block away from our hotel) at 6:40 am. Unfortunately, my mom and I did not get much sleep at all that night before. The cliffs is about a 3 hour drive from Dublin. We knew how far it was but what we did not anticipate was the three 25 minute stops we made for BATHROOM BREAKS!!! It extended our total bus time from 6 hours for the day to about 9 hours for the day! Our tour guide was nice and knowledgeable but I think after being on the bus through those winding roads, everyone was just ready to be at our destination. We did get to make a short stop at this beautiful castle and we did get to pass through some really cute towns. Ireland is quite beautiful. If the bus ride had not been so long, I think that it would have been a really nice tour. 

We spent about a hour and a half at the cliffs. We then went for lunch and made a few other stops along the way. The pictures below pretty much sum up the beauty we got to take in. The photos I post is very little compared to how many we took. Still trying to figure the best ways to go about sharing photos with everyone. 

We really enjoyed just checking out a little more of what Ireland had to offer. Unfortunately for me, I became very ill towards the end of the tour which led to me being ill from Wednesday night till today (Saturday). I will say that I tried my best to not make being sick ruin my trip. I was able to venture out for a few hours with my mom and David to check out more of Dublin. We did not make it to Guinness but we did check out churches and a castle. We were even able to see some of the set and costume design from the show Tudors. 

It was bittersweet leaving Dublin. My mom and I had a great time and met some really great people along the way. It is funny how so little time can change you a little bit and make you realize how great life really is. For anyone who is able to visit Ireland, I would absolutely recommend it. I made some really memories that I can never forget! And do not get me started on the guy to the right. His face pretty much sums up how he probably felt dealing with my mom and I all week! Thank you David for making this trip extra special! We will definitely be missing you! 

Now my mom and I are in Brussels my uncle, aunt, and cousin and we are looking forward to spending a lot of time with them!
