Aran Islands

There are a group of 3 islands called the Aran Islands,  Inismore , Inisheer and Inihsmaan.  We picked the smallest island, called Inisheer.  We took a people ferry, called the Rose of Aran, and had a fun trip across the water.

On the island, we hired a pony trap to take us around the island.  The driver's name was Michael Costello, and his pony was called Maggie Mae. He was a grizzled ex-fisherman and a delight to talk to.   We toured the small island. It was "misting", so our camera lens had a few droplets on it. 

Our ferry trip back was our "Have you ever been to sea Billy?" trip.  We were bounced around and sprayed by sea water.  We heard squeals from people as if they were on a midway ride.  We went past the cliffs of Moher again, this time seen from the sea. 

I am very glad we did not end up like this, which is a ship that wrecked on Inisheer in the 60's
