There's not many cases where I'm blown away, literally and figuratively! 

But such was the case when we visited the breathtaking Cliffs of Moher. 

At the tail end of our trip, it was the perfect ending to our book of adventure. Majestic, mind-blowing, and statuesque, we arrived at the cliffs in the County Clare of Ireland after a most hearty lunch of seafood chowder and Irish coffee. 

The weather had turned and instead of the sunny skies we had been so spoiled in having, a storm rumbled in and the wind picked up considerably.
