welcome to the callenharty.com ireland trip day eleven page

Day 11 was dedicated to the Aran Islands, particularly Inishmore (or Inis Mor), the largest of the three islands. To get there we had to take a 40-minute ferry ride out of Rossaveal. We spent the bulk of the day there and caught the 5:00 p.m. ferry back, then went back to Killarney to relax.
