At first I thought this guy was emo, but turns out he was playing with his PSP. At such a place. Well done.

More cliff views
We then drove 10 mins down to Loch Ard Gorge, which really was my favourite part of the day.

On Loch Ard Gorge - named after the clipper wrecked here in 1878


Gorge from above

On the two survivors of the shipwreck - a young man and a young lady. Unfortunately there wasn't a Hollywood Ending, about which the driver filled us in. They didn't fall in love etc


Open stalactites. The cave eroded away, or something.


Going down to the beach

Shore. It was a secluded cove.
