Galway to Lehinch, day 8

We started the day passing through The Burren - Bizarre, almost lunar landscape of limestone pavements peppered with unique flowers.


Most of the cycling was on gradients resulting in many a tough climb often accompanied by a headwind. Our reward was catching glimpses of the wild Atlantic ocean as the sun made it's way westwards. Our final ascent was to the cliffs of moher, a truly awesome sight and the tallest seacliffs in Europe. Lehinch was a few miles of sweet descent away where we arrived just in time to savour the delights of the local curry house.
