Pack for a day outdoors, hop on a bus and get dropped off in the tiny town of Doolin. Rent a bike from the kind couple at the Rainbow Hostel (ask for a map!). You'll appreciate their warm fireplace later in the day...

Get lost pedaling through the Irish countryside. Fog-covered meadows, grazing sheep, old stone walls, a crisp breeze... what more could you ask for?

Don't forget to venture out along the coast, where the alien landscape of The Burren meets the Atlantic Ocean for some incredible scenery.

Cap off your ride at the majestic Cliffs of Moher - you may recognize them as "The Cliffs of Insanity" from the Princess Bride

Return your bike and catch a bus back to Galway. It's time to join the crowds down on Quay Street for a hearty dinner, live-music and a well-deserved Guinness!
