Day 77
Craggy Island
Today we had an awesome ferry journey to Inis Oirr, or Craggy Island. The island is still mainly car free, the very few roads only wide enough for a pony and trap or cycles. Tom was beyond excited. He was in camera heaven. There was the shipwreck of the Plassey, a freighter washed ashore in 1960. Check out the opening credits of Father Ted to see it. He spent about an hour crawling all around it, I arrived just in time to see him disappear inside. Sometime later I called out to him, a woman answered, yes, he was still in there, and he’d taken some awesome photos! I left them too it and enjoyed the view. On our return ferry ride we sailed very slowly past the Cliffs of Moher. Which shares it’s Unesco site status with the Burren. The cliffs cover a length of 14km, rising 200m out of the Atlantic Ocean. There is a sea stack and Harry Potter has a cave here. They are stunning to look at and for Tom it was photo/drone heaven. Suffice to say after photographing them from the ferry we cycled up 600 straight feet to get closer footage. I have to say it was worth it. There are cliffs and then there are the Cliffs of Moher!
