2011/04/26 Travel day

This day was probably the most exhausting. Although we had experience with the roads (and their speed limits), we underestimated the travel time to Connemara a bit.
We took the ferry in Tralee to skip a few miles and arrive at the Cliffs of Moher rather soon.

After riding through more spectacular - and quiet - land..
..we stopped at the Spanish point right by the cliffs to get some pre-taste of the coast's beauty. When we finally arrived at the Cliffs of Moher, we were not only a little tired, but also shocked: masses of people were getting in line to pay for the parking lot and the view.. we skipped it, because we knew, we would not enjoy rolling with the crowd.

We kept on going and eventually made it to our next stop: Kylemore, Connemara. We rode 15km through nothing but mountains and sheep.. and got what we had been looking for: a quite place to chill!

The B&B - Kylemore House - did not look as spectacular from the outside, but it was amazing: the room was huge (with a gigantic tub), the hosts incredibly friendly, the interior antique and comfy and the area simply stunning. The picture above was the view of our room..
