Today we went to the Cliffs of Moher, though many of us opted out because of the weather and from yesterday's trip to Inish More. After a two hour bus ride we finally made it to the Cliffs, which are indeed insane. Like the Cliffs of Dover we had bad luck with the weather, but it made the trip more memorable. The first half hour was okay, though the gray clouds were rolling in at an alarming pace.

The pictures don't look quite as majestic, but these cliffs are HUGE. I learned today that they were not only used in The Princess Bride, but also in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Hundreds of white birds flew in graceful loops all around the cliffs.





We walked around for an hour or so and explored the cliffs. People were crazy and were walking along the edge, but not anyone from our group. Soon the rain started pouring on us in hard splatters. Because the wind was gusting over 40mph we couldn't take out our umbrellas, so we had to brave the wind and rain. It was so windy that the rain blew sideways and looked like mist.

By the time we got back to the coach we were all pretty wet. Even though the weather wasn't the greatest it was still fun to go. Besides, we all made Princess Bride jokes and made a plan to watch the movie again sometime soon. Tomorrow we head back to Northern Ireland. We have loads of homework to do before getting ready for our mud run on Wednesday!
