Day 10 - Bushmills to Clare

Day 10 we got up early and went to check out Giants Causeway.  We have found it really strange.  All of the natural wonders here in Ireland are things that you need to pay to see.  It cost us $8.50 each to see the causeway.  Giants Causeway's fee gave you an audio guide for your money, but some other things are costly. 

The Causeway was very very cool.  The rock formations were made by the slow cooling of lava millions of years ago.  Amazing!

It was a long walk but a very pretty one.

We then jumped back in the car and headed for Clare.

Along the way the scenery was beautiful.  There were loads of old ruins, everything from castles like this one to what once were stone homes.  It's like the owners of the land just got tired of living in the family home and wanted a new one, so built another right next to the original. 

We even had to stop to let the cows cross.

It took us a little to find, but we finally got to our B&B.  It was run by a lovely old lady in a little town called Doolin.  We want out for dinner, taking the car cause we thought we'd have to drive to find food.  We drove to the end of the road, past 3 pubs and a bistro, so turned the car around and parked it back in the B&B and walked to dinner.  We went over the little bridge and river and into the pub.

The pubs were small, yet full of people.  And so warm.

We had ourselves an Irish Pub dinner before heading to bed.
