Ireland: Baby Cliffs near Ballyreen

The Cliffs of Moher were a unique experience mixed with disappointment: thick fog created that surreal feeling of being away from everything, but knowing that only 200 meters away there is an ocean and real puffins left us feeling betrayed by nature, which decided to hide a real gem from us. However, our next stop compensated for unfortunate experience at the Cliffs - we got to the Baby Cliffs, which have a bit of a different structure and are much lower. Over there we finally saw the Atlantic ocean on the east side.

The Baby Cliffs are formed of limestone. The reaction between water and rock formed the unique structure of the cliffs, which looks like the surface of the Moon.
The height of Baby Cliffs is about 30 meters.

At this location, we finally could see the ocean.

Visibility still was far from perfect, though.

But the view was gorgeous!

Friends were asking me if I rented a car to get around. No, I didn't. I would like to try driving on the "opposite" side, but narrow roads with heavy fogs and slippery pavement aren't the best conditions for experiments. Next time, next time.
