Aran Islands

Some cool facts to start,
The population is of 820 people
The Island is 9 miles in length and 2 miles in width
There are endlesss stone walls dividing the countryside
There are cows, horses and goats everywhere and a couple of sels here and there
The hand knitt coture sweaters are something expensive yet worth it (110 euro) (35 on sale, got that one)
Cliffs that will blow your mind
A blue Flag that in european standars means that its is clean and swimmable
We got to the island on a ferry ride that was about 45 minutes long
Our tour guide pointed out: a round house , a square house, the bggest horse in the island, the only house with a basement, the smallest church, the chickens in front of a bar that has been closed for 16 years to give you the idea on how virgn these islands are that these were some of the intereting facts, oh and Leap Year, the movie, was filmed here on the islands.
We had great photoshoots and our bus tour was definitely the way to see the island because the guide knew the fact the stops and it was the warm and fast way to do it for the reasonable price of 8 euro for 3 1/2 hours. In my pinion better than the bike rental that was 10 euro. Photos to be attatched!
