We may not have had a plan to deal with the fog, but the visitor centre did! Giant photos of the cliffs just right for posing in front of.

Cliffs of Moher
This was the gap in the fog, and still not enough to see the cliffs. On the drive up here we could hardly see the center-line on the road, and the walk across the carpark wasn’t much better. If all else fails a trip to the visitor centre and a bit of waiting around. That didn’t work either. We need a back up plan …

The Burren
Edmund Ludlow said that the Burren “…is a country where there is not enough water to drown a man, wood enough to hang one, nor earth enough to bury him…… and yet their cattle are very fat…”

River Shannon, Limerick
The River Shannon seen from King John’s Castle in Limerick. April 2007 and the Global Financial Crisis is still a way off, the Celtic Tiger was roaring. Everywhere you looked there were cranes and construction work, 12 year of boom times and it seemed there was no end in sight. A few months later and we were all talking about the failing PIIGS economies – Portugal, Italy, Ireland Greece and Spain – and the rest of the world was struggling as well.
