Cliffs of Moher on chauffeurdriven tour with Dave Hogan and Dovechauffeurdrive

Our first stop this morning was on the promenade in Salthill, on the outskirts of Galway city, the place where i was born and reared. Here we have, from the left, Jessie, Tia, Christel, and Jerry, enjoying a lovely cool sunny morning. In the background, to Jerry's right, you can see the diving tower where we liked to swim and play, and on the horizon, one of the three Aran islands, which are located at the mouth of the bay.




After leaving Galway, we were on our way to the Cliffs of Moher. The sun was still shining when we arrived there, but it was chilly, with a cool breeze blowing in from the Atlantic. I think you can see from this picture that it was not a day for short sleeves.
Another lovely picture of my pals at the cliffs, still smiling, and enjoying the spectacular views.
This unusual Norman round tower overlooks Doolin harbour below. There are regular sailing of the ferries from Doolin to the Aran islands and Doolin itself is a really nice place to visit.
Ballyvaughan is another nice little town, with a picturesque harbour. It was much warmer there, and more sheltered, and it was a good time to stretch our legs. 

We part company tomorrow, in Limerick, before my friends move on to Killarney on Friday to attend a wedding there, after what i hope has been an enjoyable tour for them all.
