Trip to Burren and Cliffs of Moher
Its just this tour companies' gimmick to make you feel your trip is full of picteresque sigths.
Anyways, I did not find anything great in Burren.Perhaps, I am not geologically or historically or geologically inclined.
Burren was the place where I was dropped off with a few other girls.Brinda, I cannot help it. If these girls wanted to come with me, what would I do.
This guy, the tour driver said that Burren walk is better than aillwee caves, and I took Burren tour. I am not sure if he told that because he had to pay for Ailwee caves and he did not need to pay anything for Burren tour.
Burren walk was good. But, nothing great.The guy who owned those two small hills, took us up the hill. On the way, he showed his cow shed and explaineda little bit about the number of cows he own and stuff...
Those two small hills were owned by his family members. I was surprised when I heard that. I was like why would someone who owns hills do this guide kind of a job. When we entered there, he took us around and finally acted like a perfect sales person as well. Yes. he made us drink coffeee, eat muffins in his own shop and made us pay for it too.
I am not sure wheter the hills belong to his family or not, but what I can say is the hills were of limestone.When I asked him about why Government did not have a cement industry despite having so much of limestone.
He said, it was a Government rule not to quarry them....
Then, we moved on to Cliffs of Moher.This was really amazing. Any rich who wants to commit suicide can come over here. Spend 1 lakh of ruppee to come all the way from India and jump off here. You do not need to be worried whether you would escape with a major fracture. Sure shot death.
Really a nice place. But, got to be little careful. The sights are picteresque. Sometimes when you just go overboard, you might lose control and probably there isas chance to fall off.
I felt terrified When I watched the videos that I have taken.When I shot them, I was doubly or triply sure that I was not near any danger points.
On the way back, we stopped at another point where ther were some more cliffs which were smaller than the ones in Moher.
I asked some Chinese guys to take some pics of me standing near the cliff. When I picture them, they came out really well. Though it was not so dangerous, I thought it would come out well.
So, the pictures that Chineses guys took of me would have come out well was what I thought.
Not sure where they learn photography. The guy took bust picture of me from a completely different angle which is as good as taking a pic in the studio. If I get a chance, I will post it here.
