Sheehans on Tour with Dovechauffeurdrive and Dave Hogan

On Monday we left Kinvara behind, as we began our journey into the Burren of County Clare, and the Cliffs of Moher.
On our way to the Cliffs, with a stop off on the corkscrew hill, overlooking Galway Bay.
From the left, Tom, Kathy, Bob, and Joanne.
In the famous town of Lisdoonvarna, the Matchmaker town, where the annual matchmaking festival was well under way. Joanne and Kathy could not resist making an appearance.
Bob and Tom were not to be left behind.
 Look what i found, lucky me.
I thought that this member of the crow family was a perfect addition to this carving at the Cliffs of Moher.

 We found her again, Bob and Joanne at the top of the cliffs, with O'Brien's tower in the background.

 After leaving the cliffs we continued on our way to the lovely town of Adare in County Limerick.
The beautiful Trinitarian Abbey in the center of the town, is unmissable.
 Adare is also renowned for it's thatched cottages.
After spending time in Adare, we continued on out way to Killarney town, where they were staying on this night, and for the next three nights.
This morning, Monday, we were on our way to the magical Dingle peninsula. This was a very special day as it was Bob's birthday. I was able to celebrate this special day with Bob as we were both born in the same century.
 The beach at Inch is such a beautiful place to make a stop, and here we have Bob and Joanne, enjoying the beautiful sunshine on his special day.
 Tom and Kathy look happy here also.
Bob has ancestral connections with this area, mainly in Annascaul. Joanne, also has connections in areas close by, including Blennerville and Tralee.
The countryside around Dingle is exceptional, with the wonderful patchwork quilt like fields everywhere.

This was another really nice day, and one i enjoyed very much, as we were blessed with such beautiful sunshine.
