Ireland: pure West, Pirate Queen

In fifteenth Century, Scotland and England took control of the bustling Eastern Ireland, the local people driven to the wild west. Fortunately, the settlers on the West disdain attitude is to save the land of pure, there are romantic castle of love, a heroic Irish Pirate Queen, tourists and the true nature of the Irish Pub night together, intoxicated with Shamrock Irish Green beer. The Irish people often linked to the mouth of the craic (local slang, a beautiful meaning) said non-trivial, we have not farewell, began to miss.

Ireland

The small island of big events

Early in the morning, the dark cloud covered the sky, heavy like to collapse in general. We drove to the Rosa's (Rossaveal) ferry pier, parked here "happy Hooke" (Happy Hooker)LinerThe visitors, from Galway Bay (Galway Bay) to Inishmore (Inishmore Island) -- Alan Islands (Aran Islands) is one of the three largest island, which is located in the west coast of Ireland, is the most populous Island West of ireland.

As sharp as a knife cliff momentum

The next station is.Finland, we found a local drivers and tour guides, named Michael Hernon (Michael Hernon). Bring home, proud look will appear on the face of Michael, in his eyes, the rest of the world are distant and no need to visit. Our car in both sides is a narrow path through the wall bumps, Michael began to boast of specialty on the island, such as 19 kinds of bees, 437 species of wildflowers, 30 species of butterflies, and white Connemara Pony (Connemara). He and the road easily fight side about the local legend, "if a single girl saw seven horses Connemara white in one day, she encountered a single man will become her husband." Was curled up in the back seat be sleepy straws. Xiyalan came fresh, said his father a few years ago also live here, then the whole island only two cars, unbelievable, one day the two car was hit, it was a stunning joke.

Michael took us to the mountain Deng ang hasa Castle (D �� n Aonghasa) -- prehistoric ruins the whole Alan islands is the largest, the most famous monuments in ireland. This is a stone fortress before the Christian era, is composed of three blocks of stone were distributed around a curve, such as sharp as a knife is next to the cliff. This is not remembered by meThe United States of AmericaWar film "Navalon" in the scene, but also some scholars believe that the fortress may be used only for religious worship, rather than the war bunker, perhaps is the iron age Druids held seasonal ceremonies. The wind in my ears whirring sound, like a ghost is telling endless straight past, the sun seems to rely on the beam, but you don't fall for it, because the cliff be close by., 300 feet high, here is the roaring waves, chilling. Standing on the cliff overlooking, thoughts turn fly gone.

The relics had been designated as a world cultural heritage, natural is also popularTravelingAttractions, this usually means that will be the so-called souvenirs shop, bar, all kinds of garbage or tram phagocytosis, but fortunately this has not been commercialized, Stone City is still the protagonist. Until the mountain, we saw a "amp Kan handicrafts shop" (An P �� C �� n Craft Shop), the sale of the famous Alan sweater. Francis Beattie (Francis Beatty) and her husband, business shop has reached 32 years, she told us, for the local people, Alan sweater is like another DNA, past my mother for their children to weave a unique pattern pullover, if they died in a shipwreck, relatives can pass the sweater pattern identifying bodies identity. Of course this is old almanac, Beattie said, today's fishermen more like Tommy Hill Feig (Tommy Hilfiger, the United States of America brand sportswear).

The traditional Alan sweater

Towards evening, we live in the tiger (Tigh Fitz B&B), Fitz. The boss as a local cream as sweet, but the bathroom has a confusing signs: "dear guests, please make sure the remover and then use the towel, because the cosmetics stains can not be removed, will produce additional cost." This let me guess at what people are, but from another point of view, it also contains a selling strong decontamination washing powder business opportunities.

The very next day dawn, we met second rain trip to Ireland. Came to the pier parking lot when the rain gradually, Michael said the park has been completed, at a total of 127 signs, one is to tell visitors here are many sign, too interesting. The waves beat against the shore, like a crowded rock concert. We bid farewell to Michael, on the ferry, the impact of the waves, like a guitar like a beautiful melody, great storms, hull shaking badly, I confused and disoriented, I do not know when to reach the shore.
