Day 65 - Limerick

Got up around 10 and then we sat around waiting for Dave to come home from Maureen´s. He´d reserved a car for us so we could drive up the coast to see the cliffs and go to Galway. We gave him a call around 11 and he said he´d be back by 12:30.

12:30 went by.

1:30 went by.

2:30; Dave shows up.

Was a bit annoying because i was excited to get out into the country and see a bunch, but with him coming back so late and with it getting dark so early, we wouldn´t get a chance to see much. Can´t complain though, he has been really awesome to us and let me stay for free basically for 4 nights, so no big deal. Another place i´ll just have to come back to.

So we got going by about 3 adn set off for the Cliffs of Moher. The drive was pretty awesome through the green of Ireland. I love how they leave old stone structures standing in the middle of fields. Some of them look awesome. Especially the ones where there´s only a wall or two left with the old window holes still there. The roads were soooo narrow. I don´t think i´ve ever seen anything narrower and whinedier (is that real word?).

We got to the cliffs of Moher, parked and then wlaked the path up along a field to the edge of a cliff. We could see down the coast at a bunch of other cliffs. It was gorgeous. By the time we got there it was 4, so the sun was pretty low in the sky, making for some awesome pictures. the cliffs were huge; they must be at least 150 feet. I´m guessing they could see me waving all the way from Newfoundland. From there we drove south down the coast which was pretty nice too, and then back to Limerick.

At 8:30 we went out to a steak house where i had my first steak in over 2 month. It was awesome. We got back to Dave´s around 10:30 and he headed to bed because he had to work early Monday and me and Rob stayed up for a bit and had a couple beer. It was our last night together so we hung out for a bit, remembered some of the thing that´ve happened to us together over the past few weeks, then went to bed ourselves.

It has definately been good.

We´ve had some amazing times together, seen and done some crazy things. Its so weird that we´ve both been looking forward to this tirp for so long and just like that its done. Its gonna be weird for the next couple weeks to not have Rob there for everything, especially on trains and hostels (who´m i supposed to snuggle with a night now!?). thing just won´t be the same. I know it´ll be fine travelling on my own, but half the fun has been having a good friend to share it with and he has definately been that....tear, tear.
