Lisdoonvarna

We had a relaxing rainy morning in Dublin, then we had to say goodbye to our "new house" and head across the country to Lisdoonvarna, County Clare.

 We will miss our full equipped family with small kids housing.

 We are staying in a "large family room" in the Burren Hostel for the next 4 nights. There is plenty of space for us all and we have our own bathroom, but we still have to manage sleeping in one room together- plus sharing kitchen and common spaces with the other guests. Luckily, the baby monitor range reaches the common area, so we are not stuck in the room after dark.

 We didn't plan on any outings today, since we had 3 hours of driving, but the hostel receptionist suggested we head to the Cliffs of Moher this evening.

 The rain had cleared, and the tour buses had left by the time we arrived at 5:00.

 The cliffs area is quite built up for mass tourism, and we appreciated the walls and safe trails for carrying the kids.

 The cliffs are quite impressive- although I think we were spoiled with the cliffs we saw in Maderia last fall. The Cabo Girao in Madeira is 580m tall, vs. 214m at the Cliffs of Moher.
