Breakfast:Â In the hotel.
Morning:Â We board the motor coach to transfer to the city of Cork. En route we will experience the Burren. We will meet a local expert (Maria) who will lead us through one of the largest karst limestone landscapes in Europe, stopping for a short hike on its moon-like terrain. Next, we will stop to take in the natural wonders of the world-famous Cliffs of Moher, with time to linger by the cliffs which rise like a cathedral into the sky some 700 feet above the wild Atlantic Ocean.
Lunch:Â Lunch will be taken at the Cliffs of Moher cafe.
Afternoon: We continue on to Cork City. Ireland’s second largest city, Cork was founded in the 7th Century and is today a bustling, lively little city.
Dinner:Â Three course served and plated dinner In the hotel.
Evening:Â At leisure.
We finally opted for a lighter breakfast of yogurt and granola to give our arteries a break. No photo needed.
Burren was surreal. So quiet, natural, and intoxicating.
Part of Princess Bride (among other films) was captured at the Cliffs of Moher. Breathtaking in scope and grandeur it is a must for any visit to the Emerald Isle.
Tomorrow we will have adventures in Cork and in Cobh.
