It's been a great run, but I just can't find the time to regularly post about this all and check out everyones blogs at the same time.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Now to the final trip post: Funny story, when booking the flights my mother had forgotten we'd be in Limerick at the end of the trip so I was scheduled to fly out of Dublin instead...whoops. I had to take a taxi across the island which only took about two hours. He wanted about twice as much as he was supposed to get when we got there which I wouldn't have agreed to, just on principal, but the folks I was carpooling with were just paying him so I put in a fair share. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">Today we’re going to Limerick and then travelling to Bunratty Castle and Folkpark to spend most of the day. Bunratty is the “most complete and authentic medieval castle in Ireland” it was restored in 1954 and had its accompanying village built as well.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Bunratty grounds.<br />

I'm very bad at doing all those at once and keeping the blog up to date, I apologize guys. I haven't died, I'm still getting the last days up. I don't see it continuing once I'm finished, but that's okay. I do want the report for everyone that is interested to be up here.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">Today is the day I was looking forward to the most. It was the biggest reason I wanted to go on this trip. We’re going to take a ferry to Killimer and drive along the coastline to reach the Cliffs of Moher! I’m antsy for this entire ride. Afterwards we’re visiting a region called The Burren. We’ll end at the Ardilaun in Galway.</div><div style="text-align: center;">The ferry.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XIo-E5H4F94/TUiNZf9XHoI/AAAAAAAAAQw/UThB3dI7QM8/s1600/Ireland+June+2009+983.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XIo-E5H4F94/TUiNZf9XHoI/AAAAAAAAAQw/UThB3dI7QM8/s320/Ireland+June+2009+983.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> After we cross our first stop is a short visit to St Bridget’s Well.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi301-A-jxO75sXgwhvpm58C9mrZG6SpnsU5vbLYBgETn3x_7U_O_106aNHRWeVqqPrdCfYkl2zZQ7ZjaJYDCqD8SKC1WGfxpa3QMPlTo8kxL5RCLwf_R2B1sfhEP9G8Qo55lpJSX79hbYw/s1600/Ireland+June+2009+991.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi301-A-jxO75sXgwhvpm58C9mrZG6SpnsU5vbLYBgETn3x_7U_O_106aNHRWeVqqPrdCfYkl2zZQ7ZjaJYDCqD8SKC1WGfxpa3QMPlTo8kxL5RCLwf_R2B1sfhEP9G8Qo55lpJSX79hbYw/s320/Ireland+June+2009+991.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

I know, I know. I wanted to let you guys know that the Humble Bundle #3 is up, <a class="linkification-ext" href="http://www.humblebundle.com/" title="Linkification: http://www.humblebundle.com/">http://www.humblebundle.com/</a> It's an awesome game bundle that is totally worth buying. Trine by itself is worth it and the funds go to a good cause. If you like games, or know someone that does, you should totally consider getting it!<br />
<br />
Update: I bought it yesterday and gave them 10 bucks. More than twice the average, but still less than they really should get I thinkFrostyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14734895316617471018noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4387327389134958344.post-31643601803773063692011-04-11T22:39:00.000-07:002011-04-11T22:39:17.687-07:00Day 8 - Killarney and Sleeping in the Court (p2)Sorry about that guys, I'm not dead I promise.
