June 21st (sunny and rainy)
Talked with a lovely older Dutch gentleman with a ’73 VW bus that he had camperized himself. He is a mechanic and gave us that our van sounded great. We are still considering selling it ourselves or possibly putting it in storage if it runs well until the end of the trip. We are very comfortable, especially when it has been raining quite a bit in Ireland and we feel so protected from the elements.
We drove the short distance to the famous Cliffs of Moher. What a beautiful sight especially on such a sunny morning. After that we drove along and saw a little pitch & putt course and decided it would be nice change. George and I had a few good laughs. I am really looking forward to golfing often next year now that I am retired.
There was a traffic jam in Limerick so we decided to pull in for the day. The camping place isn’t the best we’ve been to, but we were pleasantly surprised when we went for a walk around the site and discovered the ruins and grounds of the famous Irish poet named Aubrey DeVere. The grounds were absolutely gorgeous. There are not as many camp grounds in Ireland and we like to call it a day with driving around 3 pm. Our next stop is Dingle which is famous for its pub life. In Ireland, 41% of the population is under 25 years of age.
