Tim Tam and Patty: Cliffs of Moher, The Burren, Surfing and onwards to Bushmills

We arrived in Galway on July 21 and had a day of vegging as tomorrow we were off to the Cliffs of Moher and the Burren. On July 22 we got all packed up and headed out early that morning to the Cliffs. We walked along the path to witness the amazing view and even walked to the furthest lookout tower. Mom did an amazing job as Mom sure does hate heights. She wanted to wear a T-shirt that says I walk the inside you walk the outside! Haha she is too funny. After we took the scenic route through the Burren which covers a large area around Galway. It was an amazing day! The morning of the 23 we headed north to Strandhill to a Surf n Stay Hostel. The weather was very cloudy and rainy when we arrived and they cancelled surf lessons for the day. There weren't even any locals out surfing so you knew it was too bad to go out. On the 24th we got suited up and headed out at 10am to have surfing lessons by J-Man and Mom was our professional photographer. We did an amazing job but man it sure was tiring! Patrick was the first to stand up and Tam stood up the 2nd try! We had to take a break from the waves as our legs were killing us but we had an amazing time! We got to surf for 2 hours! Tam rated the day 15 out of 10! After we went out for a nice bowl of soup or chowder to warm our bones back up. Then we headed to Sligo to the tourist information to get a map for Mom to take home to show everyone where we have been. Tam also parked in the wrong place as she went into the tourist information. A guy knocked on the window and asked Patrick and Mom to move so Patrick jumped in the drivers seat to move the car. He did an amazing job! He didn't even scratch it up. Today we jumped in the car and headed towards Bushmills and went even more North into Northern Ireland. What an amazing part of Ireland. The view was absolutely incredible where we even saw the bog being harvested and the tree lines where trees were being cut down. We arrived just down from the Giant's Causeway where our hostel is located and then we headed into Bushmills to get some pounds then went out to the Carriackrade-Rope Bridge. We had an amazing view of the Atlantic Ocean and could even see a working lighthouse! Mom felt like she was having a heart-attack walking over the rope bridge that was suspended over 100ft in the air over the ocean. At the time it sure was funny until Tam went to cross it too and finally got a little nervous. We took some pictures and then ventured back towards the main-land and headed back to our hostel. We even get hamburgers made by the guy that runs our hostel. After supper we will be venturing to the Giants Causeway to see the sunset and take some more pictures. Tomorrow we will have a hot Irish breakfast and then head into Bushmills to the Old Bushmills Distillery and then head to Belfast if we can still drive after the whiskey! Just kidding, Tam will be the designated driver. We will finally stop at Dundalk where we will stay for 2 nights then carry on to Westport on the West Coast. We sure have so much more to see and only 6 days left to go! Here's to many more adventures.
