Cliffs of Moher to Killarney

Via Limerick is both faster and cheaper if you take the tunnel. That way, you don't go THROUGH Limerick -- you go AROUND it! Only justification for the ferry is if you plan to visit Loop Head, Kilrush, Kilkee or Listowel along the way.

I didn't even know there was a tunnel! When did that happen?

It's a Beltway/bypass under the River Shannon that connects the N/M7 to the N18. It was completed in late 2010.

Thanks, Bob!

It is so nice to avoid Limerick. Now they need a bypass around Adare.

I'm back from my trip! Michele, you are so right. They absolutely need a bypass around Adare. The traffic was ridiculous! And they need one around Abbyfeale too.

Trip report to come. My mission to visit the monastery of Skellig Michael was a success! Crummy weather throughout my vacation, but the boats still went out on my designated day, hooray!

My wife just said, last night, that she HATES driving (riding) through Abbyfeal! biggrin biggrin

Glad you made it back safe. We'll be looking forward to your report. Glad you made it to Skellig Michael. It's on my 'List', but I'm beginning to wonder if I'll ever make it. Those steps look rather challenging! hmm hmm

Pity about the weather -- I understand it's been unseasonably warm and sunny the past few days.

Isn't that always the way? confuse furious confuse

Ande, Welcome back. Can't wait to hear about your trip and Skellig Michael. You are braver than me. I will visit it when the put in the elevator! wink
