In the morning we woke up early for breakfast. At 8:30 a.m. we took the bus to Rossaveal, which is 45 minutes from Galway away.
We took the ferry to reach the biggest of the Aran Islands, Inis Mor. The island is 9 miles long and about 2 miles wide, and mostly consists of barren limestone rock and small fields. The fields are surrounded by stone walls, where cows and donkies live. When we arrived on the island we went on to the Black Fort. After a one-hour-walk we saw the stunning Cliffs, we sat down on the stones took a break and had lunch. We enjoyed the cold fresh air, but suddenly it started to rain, so we went on. We walked and climbed over the stones while it was raining. After some time we went back to an Irish-Pub because we wanted to have a hot drink or a meal.
We also visited the Aran Sweater Market and Museum. It is the birthplace of the Aran Sweater, a sweater which was first used by the island fishermen. After that we drove back with the ferry to Rossaveal and took the bus back to Galway.
At 7 p.m. some of us went to the supermarket to buy food for dinner. Then we started to cook and made pizza with salad, it tasted very good! After dinner some of us went out. But not very long because everybody was tired from our trip and we also had to wake up early the next morning. Kathi and I went to the Internet to send our last E-mail before we went.
I hope everybody enjoyed this evening.
Beate Moch
