After an early start, we headed off with a guide for a day through Galway and on to the cliffs. We briefly checked out the cathedral and the famous harbor swans, quite photogenic, and leisurely drove through the countryside. We made a few stops along the way including Dunguaire Castle, one of the most photographed castles in the world. After a few stops along the roadway to take in other sites, including a seemingly vast lunar landscape, we made it to the Cliffs of Moher. Instead of going to the normal tourist route, our guide had is park along the road just before the cliffs and walk through a local field. He was also a skydiver and we had been talking about BASE jumping the evening prior, and wouldn't you know it but just as we were walking by we saw someone leap from the cliff. We set up at a beautiful spot to take in the views and enjoy a few Polish beers while I played around with my panoramic robot. It was slightly hazy, so the pano didn't come out as clear as I would have liked in the distance, but the overall effect is still there. It was a great way to relax for the day and we got to see quite a few astounding views and take in some neat experiences.
