A local-guided pony ride along the roads of Inis Mór (Inishmore), the big island of the chain of Aran Islands off the west coast of Ireland on May 23, 2009. What started as a cold, damp, and windy day before leaving Galway turned into clear skies and warm temperatures, just in time for the predawn arrival of the Volvo Ocean Race.
Don't forget (like I did) to climb the hill to Dún Aengus, the 4,000 year old fort next to the iconic 300ft cliffs.
the Arans Islands are beartiful to visit; it's best to stay overnight if you can--magical place!
