OMG what a day it was the sun was out all day -it was a perfect day. And finally some outside photos of us without our jackest on cause it was warm enough and their was no rain.

| Again I am sorry I have not got the name of this castle, but it is a great shot of me and Alison with the castle in the background. alsion has a great shot with just the castle and the refection in the lake to show you all when we get back. She is still in bed as it is now 5.30am and i have been going for 2 hours to get blog up to date. |

| Here is Simon in the Leprechan house looking into the wishing well. |
 |
| Mark our tour guide- now while it does look like he has had enough of us and looking for desperate measures to escape- not so. This is his favourite spot in Ireland (well his fav today on this drive). A couple others ventued out to get their photo taken on the ledge as well. |
 |
| The sun is out- so a picnic is in order. Picnic Ireland mid autumn style, on rocks over looking the water. Yah we are outside in sunshine and not getting wet- we love it |
 |
| Cliffs of Moher. Five of us opted to do the cliff walk- which includes climbing over bard wire fences. This is a shot from this side half way to the top. |
 |
| In front of the rock nearly at the top. |
 |
| Katie and Kyra at the top of the cliffs. |
 |
| Me and Kyra starting to walk towards the other side of the cliffs. |
 |
| Cliffs of Moher the otherside - have walked the length. The path is narrow slippery and close to the edge with no barriers not for the fainthearted |
 |
| The Cliffs of Moher crew from left- Kyra, Karen, Katie, Freddy, Lyndon. After we had finished the walk in great time (back 40 minutes early) power walking. |
 |
| Okay it doesn't show so well but we passed this beach and there were about 20-30 people surfing - yes surfing. |
 |
| Dinner tonight at the hostel pub- four days to go and we all still look like we are up for anything right- NOT |
Went to the local bar called the South Pole in Annascaul, County Kerry. It was owned by Tom Crean who was a famous adveturer. Tom Crean figured prominently in three of the four major British expeditions to the Antarctic. Crean spent more time in the South than either Scott or Shackleton - and he outlived them both! See link below to find out more about him- he was a fasinating man and incrediable brave in the expediations- truly inspiring stories.
