On our way to the Cliffs of Moher

We're in Ennis (Co. Clare) heading for the Cliffs of Moher for the afternoon.  Thence to Galway tonight where we'll stay at Kinlay House, a favorite hostel from the trip that Janet and I took in 1997.

Cam's enjoying it all so far.  We've been pretty much on the move the whole three (and a half) days that we've been here, hauling luggage and so, which will be the way things are until we pick up our car in Amsterdam in five days.

Cam's discovered that Guinness isn't at all bad; we will probably make a visit to St. James Gate, the source of all Guinness when we return to Dublin at the end of our journey.

We had a lovely visit with cousins Jane and Barbara in Carrick-on-Suir.  There happened to be a bicycle road race underway while we were there and we watched the start from a good vantage point on the main street.  We then walked to the old bridge, first built over the river Suir in 1446, and watched as the tidal flow back to the ocean began.

Cam has been diligent in his note-taking and in writing something her as often as possible.

We're discovering that internet access is less accessible in Ireland than we had hoped it would be.  We'll be looking for improved internet access as we move into mainland Europe.

We'll leave for England tomorrow night, probably, for an overnight bus-ferry trip winding up at Victoria Station in London.

Stay tuned for more news of Cam and Bob's excellent adventure.
