Ireland - Day 9

Today we drove through Connemara with its miles and miles of rock walls

to the fishing port of Rossaveal where we got a ferry to the Island of Inishmor, one of the Aran Islands.  We landed at the small town of Kilronan

where there is this nice Irish cross.

We toured the island by minibus

and stopped at the ancient stone fort of Dun Aengus.  The walk up to the fort was a challenge.

The rocks and the walls made of them were amazing.

Then there is the view from the top of the cliffs.

We then drove to the area with the seven churches, which is really the remains of just two churches and associated buildings which were built in the 7^th or 8^th century.
