Ireland Day 6

We went to Mooghaun hill fort. Mooghaun hill fort is thought to be the biggest hill fort in all of Ireland. Unfortunately, it is another dry-stone fort (grr!). From there, we visited Knappogue Castle, an intact castle that we could walk around. We couldn’t go inside, though.
After that, we went to Quin Friary, a fairly intact friary that we could walk around. Soon, we had to go to Doolin to catch our boat out to Inisheer. Inisheer is the closest of the Aran Islands. We had 3 hours to explore Inisheer before we had to go back to catch the boat back. We wouldn’t have time to see the little castle at the top of the hill, though, so we went back, expecting to go back on the same boat we came in. We watched one boat load. And then it left. And then we realized that we were supposed to be on that boat. The next boat was in a couple hours, so we could go see the castle! We caught another ride back, but that one didn’t go along the Cliffs of Moher like ours would have. Oh well.
From there we went back to our hotel.
