Ti - ming is Everything

As we approached the Shannon Ferry yesterday, the deck hand unhooked the gate and waved us on.  It would have been another 40 minutes or so before the next trip.  Timing is everything.  Today we woke up to pea soup thick fog - - good thing we got here in time yesterday to have sunshine for the Cliffs!

Fog in Doolin
Aille River


There is some folklore about the Dolphins in Ireland.  There is a Dolphin in Doolin and, timing was right, here he is:







Tam also made friends with The Doolin Cow and The Doolin Donkey:










We also solved the ancient Celtic myth of the Iron Dragon.  It's a cell tower!  Seriously, they have WAY better access to Wi-Fi here than in the states.   Once again we landed at another first rate B&B, Nellie Dees in Doolin.  Wonderful hosts, and the house is just superb.  Comfortable, clean and well appointed.

It's back to Dublin tomorrow for our flight on Monday morning.   But, before we leave, we are going to the pubs tonight hear some of the world renown Doolin Music.

  1. Chip and Tammy,
    Thanks for sharing your trip with us. The pictures have been spectacular and we really enjoyed your commentary. We have made only one trip to Ireland, perhaps 15 years ago, and you have insprired us to give serious thought to another go at it.

    Glad you have had such a great time.

    Best regards,

    P. J.
