Ireland - pics of my travel travelers

Okay, here are their pics:Corinna, Thomas, Kristina, Barbara, Henrik ant Torsten inside the Limerick castle.
Actually it did not rain a lot when during the ten days. Only the fist and the last day we got wet.

After arriving in Cloghane we walked a little bit around to enjoy the scenery and to take pistures.
These were compared immediately.
Thomas.
It is not the worst place to build a house. Very scenic.
The first evening in Cloghane ended with a beer.
The view from this point was over the bay of Cloghane.
Kristina preparing dinner and Thomas contolling if she was able to boil noodles.
The second day in Cloghane. The girls took the van and visited the peninsula. This picture was take on the Conner Pass. Cloghane and the bay can be seen in the back. Corinna, Barbara and Kristina.
The Mt Brandon ridge seen from the pass.
Seems to be windy up the pass.
Driving along the shore of the peninsula.
There were also some nice sand beaches.
We, the guys went hiking to Mt Brandon (952 m, second highest peak of Ireland).
Impressed by the countryside and documenting the hike.
The first 45 minutes the muddy trail led through bushes. Later we would have been happy to get aome shade of trees or bushes.
After we arrived in the bassin below Brandon peak we made a rest to eat. But Henrik spilled the noodles.
Thomas and I preparing the cooker.
Running out of water is not a real problem in Ireland. But filtering is necessary.
Henrik posing infront of the final ascent. The koyote showes what we though.
On top. He does not look to happy, does he?
Thomas and I on a one hour walk around Torc Falls.
Me in a lake in Killarney NP.
Henrik, Kristina, Thoma, Barbara, Corinna and Torsten at Ladies View.
Henrik and I waiting for Tomas. Thomas got a tick and I tried o remove it with a tweezer. But it failed. Sry, Thomas.
The we went to the hospital but they did not even know thet there were ticks on Ireland. So Thomas did the surgery by himself.
In the Jameson Destillery. We joind a whiskey test. There were altogether four peolpe allowed. Our group was represented by three (Thomas, Kristina, Torsten) people, so 75 %. We compared Irish Whiskey to Scotch and Burbon. I was noon!!!
First only smelling.
One by one.
Then getting drunk.
Jacket: 50 Euros, T-Shirt 23 Euro.
?
The old toilett was not only attractive to Corinna but also
Henrik.
On the way up to Rock of Cashel. Thomas, Kristina, Barbara, Torsten and Henrik.
Why?
Let me introduce our 7th group member: Bob, a cake! He joined us for hundreds of kilometers in the van. Here, at Rock of Cashel, it found a new home. A nice garbage can.
Henrik as usual in the hostels. Either writing postcards or into his diary.
LivinĀ“ art.
The trail is marked and by this picture my travel travellers knew where I was going in the case of being lost.
Pants 38 Euros, haircut free.
The shore close to Doolin.
While I was hiking in Connemara the group splitted again. Thomas and Henrik went to the Aran Islands and explored the island by bike. One stop were these impressive cliffs.
Pullover 23 Euros, seat priceless.
Natural art!
The cleaning of the van made clear that the journey was almost over.
At Cliffs of Moher. Windy and rainy like Ireland was expected to be.
