Near the blue

The day after the rain walking experience, we decided to take it easy. So I spent the whole day sitting on the sofa and surfing on internet. By random searching I found an article about the most beautiful places in Europe. And surprisingly we were like 11 miles away from one of them, having no idea about it! So next day we caught the buss and went straight to that place.

Maybe you’re not as retarded as we are and already know what I´m talking about -

Cliffs of Moher.

One more time: A m a z i n g. 

The cliffs of Moher are located at the southwest edge of the Burren region. It’s like those big, big stones rising 120 meters above the Atlantic Ocean and reach their maximum height of 214 metres. Power of nature.

The cliffs consist of sandstone and some other shit I don’t remember the name of. Some say you can see 300 million years old river channels cutting through the base of cliffs, well I couldn´t see those, but I could totally see the view surrounding me…

The O´Brien´s Tower located near the midpoint of the cliffs is a stone tower built in 1835 by Sir Cornelius O´Brien. From the top of the watch tower you could see the Aran Islands in Galway Bay, the Twelve Pins mountain ranges to the north and Loop Head to the south.

And in front –an almighty view, one step forward and you are gone in the blue. Anyways, this place receive about one million visitors a year, and that makes me feel even more retarded…

The name of the cliffs came from an old fort called Moher that once stood on the southernmost point of the cliffs. It was demolished in 1808 because of the alien adoption... So it is a very nice place to visit if you want to feel the power of the wind and a bit of mad curiosity forcing you to jump down those cliffs.
