Next day, we went to New coach station in order to join the day tour, the reason we would like to join the day tour: first, this is not easy and convenience for us to travel these famous places, however if we do really travel there by our own, it must cost us a lot of money, consider of this condition, we decided to join the local tour agency.
There are four main tour agencies there, you can go over there around 9.30am to 10.00am to check these 4 agencies, or you can also compare online, as they offer 10% discount online booking. However, personally, for my experience, DO NOT book online, this is because if you do book online, then what is done is done. I mean, you can also negotiate with them, see if they can offer you much cheapest price, sometimes, these agencies will provide you a very good deal to ensure you go with them, you know, it's business, so it's up to you indeed.
After a careful consideration, we joined Burren Wild Tour, host by Healy agency. In fact, I prefer join this, this is becuase there is a local guide guide us into the Burren Mountains.
Please note, you may confuse what different with these 2 agencies, personally, I think they work together. This is because if you read their leaflet carefully, you will find out one has the TOUR, but the other one doesn't. The doggy thing is they will put you all together and take you to first stop: Burren, so if you don't book walking tour, the coach driver will try to persuade you to join the walking tour, of course you need to pay for it, 7 euros. That's right! 7 euros, so why not select the walking tour initially, save the money. Again, cost cost and cost, money and money, these 2 key things are the priority.
This guy is John, who has a BA degree in Irish Heritage, plus he and his family have already live there for 200 years, as he told us so, unless I didn't catch properly. ^^
We stayed @ Burren around an hour, John guided us a lot of information. We also visited the traditional Irish Farm, saw the cows and sheep, John also explained they will move their cows and sheep to top in the winter time, one of the reason is because Ireland is barely snowing, so they used to move their sheep and cows to top of the hill. Second, I guess this is because of their particular geographic, so as you can see this photo, do you notice any different points? Ha....there are so many rocks(stones), normally should be the grass not these stones, yeah? However, in Ireland, especially Burren, this is their unique geographic.
Below, these cows are belongs John's family. These cows are pregnant and awaiting giving birth.
You can see Glaway bay at the top of Burren mountains.
This is a wishing tree, John also asked us do we have wishing tree in Taiwan, we said YES. John then said, this is interesting, some Taiwanese say no, but he believes we have. We just confirmed his question.^0^
