The Cliffs of Moher | Ireland

19 April 2014

For the first time in six days I'm actually able to sit down and catch up on internet life!
If it seems like I've been absent from the blogging world these past few days, it's because I have been.
My college roommate, Meagan, came to visit for the week. In the six days she was here we spent time in three different cities and two different countries.
As you would expect, I'm exhausted.
Since I haven't given y'all any juicy travel post in a while, I thought I'd share my favorite part of Meagan's trip: The Cliffs of Moher in Ireland!

Since both Meagan and I had never been to Ireland, we wanted to make the most of the trip and see as much as possible. We booked a day tour with Paddywagon (which I will review in a separate post later on) and headed off to the Cliffs of Moher.


Located on the Atlantic Coast, the cliffs are a 3 and a half hour journey from Dublin. The views however, made up for us being stuck on a bus for so long. When we finally got there I was disappointed to see there were railings preventing you from getting too close to the edge. Understandable, yet not great for the photo ops I wanted. As Meagan and I walked further along the cliffs, we found the railings stopped and you could climb to the literal edge.

As much as it freaked me out, the blogger in me was determined to get some amazing photos. 


The Cliffs of Moher were absolutely breathtaking.
 If it wasn't so chilly I would have thought I was somewhere in the Caribbean! When the sun came out the water was a beautiful blue, stretching for miles and miles, uninterrupted.
Yes, it's quite a far journey if you are staying in Dublin like we were, but completely worth it.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Easter weekend!

xoxo

  7. The Cliffs of Moher is probably one of my favorite places on earth. They were well, well worth the trip we took to go see them and I'm glad to see you had a beautiful day! These photos are simply gorgeous! I cannot wait to go back later in May.

    As for the railings, I can certainly see why! At the end of our trip there, a part of the cliffs had to be blocked off because someone found a body... At the time, they said that could happen pretty frequently.
