Jameson Experience

The Jameson Experience is an old whiskey distillery turned into a museum.

Day 174

The visitor centre is open since 1992 and is located in the Old Midleton Distillery. 

You can have a guided tour through the distillery which is around 75 minutes long and shows you how the Irish whiskey was made in the old distillery. It is very interesting to see the different fabrication steps and how the whiskey was made in this distillery. You can see the mill, the malting process and the huge pot stills which are the largest ever built.
Some people can take part in a whiskey tasting during the guided tour and a Jameson Signature drink is included in the entrance.
You can also visit the shop and buy different whiskey kinds or other merchandise related to whiskey.

Cliffs of Moher

The Cliffs of Moher are located in County Clare in Ireland.

Day 177

The cliffs are one of the most popular tourist destinations in Ireland. There's a Visitor Centre built into a hillside close to the cliffs. You have to pay a fee to enter the Visitor Centre and see the exhibitions in there. If you only want to see the cliffs, there's the possibility to visit after the opening hours of the Visitor Centre and you won't have to pay a fee.

At the highest point the cliffs are 214 meters high. Many different species of birds live in the cliffs, so it's also a good place for bird spotters. If you like hiking, there's the Cliff Walk which you can use to walk along the cliffs.
As a photographer you have many opportunities to take great pictures, depending on the light and the Irish weather. You can also just enjoy the view over the cliffs, the Aran islands and Galway Bay.

The Cliffs of Moher are a spectacular sight for nature lovers and everyone else.
