Day 9 for ChmieBell Tours in Scotland and Ireland brought us to another ferry across the Shannon River on our way to the Cliffs of Moher. We took in the spectacular views of the cliffs soaring 700 feet above the Atlantic. Once we finished our time at the Cliffs, we went to our hotel to get ready for our Medieval Castle Banquet at Bunratty Castle. What a great time and we were blessed to have the King and Queen as part of OUR group!

Once done with a visit to the castle, we embarked on a drive around the Ring of Kerry and the many breath taking sights along the way. Lunch and the Skelling Experience detailing the Monks of Skelling Michael Island. The island was featured in Star Wars VII. We returned to Killarney for some free time for dinner and shopping for the evening.
