The jumping off point of our tour of Ireland was at the famed Cliffs of Moher.At a maximum height of 214 meters, the Cliffs of Moher present a pretty imposing view of the west coast of Ireland. It is also advisable to stay away from the edge as Olympic diving hasn't quite found a way for the divers to survive this event. The cliff side is unbelievably impressive as the waves below crash into the rocks below. There are thousands of sea birds that make their homes in the cliffs including the Atlantic Puffins.
We hiked the trails along the cliffside, including a small little "out-of-bounds" trail where there were no guard rails to keep you at the 200 meters above sea level elevation. We managed to stay on the trail however and really enjoyed the breathtaking views and the sea salt breeze.
Mindy decided that the sign was actually encouraging you to climb on to the stone wall barrier.
And she did finally manage to perch upon the top for a better view.
