Yesterday was a very wet and cold day. Typical Ireland I guess haha. After breakfast, a few of us walked down to a grocery store that was probably about the size of my bedroom at home. It had a cooler with some cheese, meat, and some beverages and then just a few shelves with various little products. Definitely wasn't what I was expecting although I probably should've expected it since this town is so small hahah. Anywho, by the time we got back we were all drenched but just decided to stay in our wet clothes since we were about to leave for the Cliffs of Moher.
Even though it was rainy and pretty foggy the cliffs were so cool. It was super windy so I wasn't too adventurous. I guess 10-12 people die a year at the cliffs and with it being slippery and windy, I decided I would come back another day when it's nice and sunny ;) We only stayed for about an hour since the last bus back to our hostel left the cliffs at 1:30, and none of us felt like walking in the rain again. Four of the girls actually walked the 6 km there in the rain....I'm so glad I didn't hahah.
After we got back we all basically slept or sat on Facebook. After dinner a few of us went on a walk since the sun was finally shining and the rain had stopped. We got past all of the main shops and started to see the amazing view that I have pictures of on Facebook. We climbed over this metal bar fence and walked to the little wire fence on the edge of the cliff and we were all speechless. We almost blew over however since the wind was super intense. It was a lot of fun though and super gorgeous. After seeing the view I knew I was in Ireland. It's definitely a must-see while you're here! Once we walked back we all just hung out again and most of us went to bed early.
Around 2 a.m. we were woken up by some other residents who were incredibly loud and drunk. They were Irish so I guess it was to be expected. I think they still wanted to party since they were knocking on everyone's door, including ours. I don't think anyone was very happy about that.
After breakfast a few of us went to the little shops that Doolin has to offer. They were mainly just tourist shops but it was still cool to see what they had to offer.
Right now we're waiting for the one and only bus back to Galway. So just another travel day/lounging day for us basically. I guess Galway has a little farmer's market-type thing on Sunday's so most of us will probably go there once we get there. :)
