Waterfall in Aillwee Cave

May 3
We arrived in Ireland at 9:00 am (Left NY at 10:00 pm May 2) got our rental car and headed off to see the sights. We went the Quin Abbey and saw an old church and cemetery they were interesting. Then we headed to the Cliffs of Moher. It was very windy but at least it was not raining. The Cliffs were very cool. Our next stop was the Aillwee Cave near Ballyvaughan, containing vast, dry caverns, is one of Ireland's oldest caves. They were ok caves but nothing special. The one interesting thing was that it had a water fall in the cave. We then saw one of may tombs in the Burren. There are over seventy megalithic tombs in The Burren, the most well known and most easily accessible being Poulnabrone. It reminded me of Stone Hendge. Jacob would have enjoyed jumping from rock to rock. We then headed to out hotel as we were exhausted being up for over 24 hours
