Itinerary description
|
Arrived in Galway this evening.
But this morning we took a boat trip from Portmagee to the Skellig Islands with a stopover on Skellig Michael.
There are two reasons to visit this island.
On the one hand, there are the well-preserved stone huts (built in dry stone walls, i.e. without mortar) of the monks from the 6th century.
And secondly, there are the puffins, which are particularly numerous on the island.
Even though visibility was somewhat limited today, we were lucky to even get to the island, as the day before all trips to the island were cancelled due to strong waves.
