Bunratty Castle, Crag Cave, Old School House B&B!

      Today, we woke up at our hotel "Auburn Lodge Hotels" We got up at about 8:20 AM. I had to get Caleb up, and he didn't want to get up at all. When we were all up, we packed all of our stuff, and got in our cars. We got in the cars, and we were on our way to Ennis. We were heading Westward to the coast because tomorrow we are going to Skellig Michael. We got to Ennis in about an hour, and we went to eat.

    We found this cute little street, and we found a place to eat breakfast called Mocha. They had Coffee, and a ton of Breakfasta items. There was a man playing the banjo near us, so we got to listen to that and eat breakfast. Me, Ben, and Caleb all got different types of Hot Chocolate, and it was amazing! Most of us got the Full Breakfast. 

This is the Street with all the stores, and restaurants.

      After we had finished Breakfast, we tipped the Banjo player, because he was pretty good. We then got in our cars to continue our journey. Our next stop on the path Westward was at Bunratty Castle. It was a good castle, but there was a whole area of things to do like Archery, and other things for little kids. There were cool buildings around like cool old farmhouses. 
Awesome View!

Bunratty Castle!

      
Old Farmhouse!
      Me and Caleb tried archery, but it was kind of annoying with both of the guys trying to show you exactly how to do it, and we already knew how to shoot a bow and arrow. Plus it cost money. The castle was fun to go in though. We were able to get up really high, and we got some really cool pictures from the top of it!

       We threw some mini paper airplanes off of the roof of the Castle just for fun. We explored the whole Castle, then we went down and started our adventure again. We drove a while continuing Westward, and we stopped next, at Crag Cave in Castleisland. We went in, and we were going to get a tour of Crag Cave. Once our tour guide showed up, we were all guided down into the Cave. 

       There was a bunch of different things he showed about how the caves were formed. There was a bunch of Stalagmites and Stalactites. You could see the places where the water had formed the cave. 





     It was really cool in the cave. The guide told us that it was the same temperature all year long. It was a bit colder in the cave then up above ground. There were really long passageways, and amazing shaped rocks and it was really awesome to learn about. 

     After we visited Crag Cave, we continued to drive. We saw a random Graveyard on the side of the road while driving, so we decided to stop and look at it. Max really wanted to stop. We stopped and checked it out. We got some really cool Black and White pictures of the Graveyard.

     We got back in our cars, and continued to drive. It was about dinner time, so we wanted to stop somewhere to eat dinner. We stopped in Kells to eat Dinner. We stopped at this really cute place that served Thai food. It was literally right next to a crazy awesome mini rain forest. Here are some pictures we took literally right outside of the Restaurant.

Awesome Waterfall!

      We ate there, and it was really good! It was like really good Chinese food. After that, we were headed to The Old School House B&B where we would be staying the night. We got there, and it looked really nice!

Nice!
       When we got inside, we met some other people who were also staying there. There were 5 girls and 2 of them were from Utah. We played cards with them. It was fun. We then went upstairs and went to bed. Well everyone except me, Goodnight!
