We headed up to Connemara early Tuesday morning so that we could appreciate Inishbofin as a family! We took the 11:30 ferry from Cleggan and arrived at the island around 12:30. Above is the light house that sits at the entrance to the harbor.
Of course there was a hike involved... We walked on the right side of the island. First we followed the shore, then a sheep path, then umm I'm not sure, then some rocks. We finally navigated to the far end of the island. There were many bogs.
Please note that there is a giant orb in the sky that occasionally allows us to be warm, except for the wind. We have been so lucky on so many of our trekking days!
Yes, that is a very large lollipop. It was a three hour hike: Yes I bribe. Cristopher is showing the heart that was displayed after an hour of licking.
"Excuse me, if you are going to walk near my field I suggest that you at least bring me an apple core."
Doesn't the water look warm and lovely? Dream on it is as cold as the ocean in Maine, I don't care what they say about the gulf stream, it's chilly.
Baby beefer and his friends. Ireland is filled with wonderful farm animals:-)
We returned back to Cleggan on the 5:00 boat and headed to our B&B. After a brief shower we walked back to town to the local pub for a pint and some chowda (oops forgot we are not in Maine).
