Today we travel from Clifden we continue our journey through the lush rolling hills and patchwork farmland as we traverse the famous lake district of the Connemara Region towards Galway City. For few hours we can soak up the famous colourful atmosphere around the tribal city of Galway - the busker music, the cobblestone lanes, the contemporary flair that blends well with its medieval past, and of course, the oysters..

After lunch it's time to explore the lunar landscape of the Burren and travel along the Wild Atlantic Way.
Our first photo stop is at the 16th Century Dunguaire Castle on the outskirts of Kinvara. One of the most photographed castles in the whole of Ireland.

Now it's on through the glacial-karst landscape of the Burren and past Corcomroe Abbey.
We will follow the Coast Road with views of Galway Bay and the Aran Islands, making a short stop to walk on the lunar-like landscape of the Burren this a strange sandstone formation that is only found in this area. We will arrive in Doolin village in the late afternoon with plenty of time to visit the local craft shops, colorful cafes, and lively pubs. We are here for one night.
