Cliffs of Moher
During my time in Ireland I have made it to a lot of major cities in the country. Recently, I traveled to Galway and saw the Cliffs of Moher. One of the most beautiful places I have ever been. It is hard to imagine that the cliffs developed on their own since the beginning of the world. A 500 foot drop to the waiting water and rocks waiting below. I walked all up and down the cliffs on a small path 5-10 feet wide. Some points the path would shrink very small and it would be difficult to travel along it without being nervous. If anyone else up on the cliff was crazy or had a problem they could easily give you one push to your death and no one would even know. Since I have been in Europe I have seen many things filmed in movies. The Cliffs of Moher were filmed in one of my favorite movies, Harry Potter. In order to get to the cliffs we decided that renting a car was the cheapest and best option. Bad idea. The infrastructure in Ireland is sooooo poor. The roads are barely big enough for one car and they have 4 foot stone walls riding all along every road that you think you are going to hit. When you are not used to driving on the left side of the road and you do not know where you are going in tight quarters it can make for a very nervous 3 hour car ride. Almost miserable. At least I got to experience a lot of Ireland's countryside. Overall, I give the Cliffs of Moher trip a 7/10 for the beautiful landscape and the long nerve-racking car ride.
