the ditching at the ........

so on the next weekend i decided that i wanted to go to the cliffs of moher .. i booked with paddy wagon tours i dont recommend them at all you will see why when you read down more . i was on the tour to limerick and was having a great time with the tour guide and the girls that were there as well . we stopped in limerick and had nice time at the castel . then we had to change buses to join another tour for the day . that is the time when the trouble began .. when we reached the cliffs of moher after being divered around a bunch of construction that the tour could have planed ahead for . so we did not get to see alot of the burren and he would not stop for any pictures cause we were behind time .. so we got to the cliffs and that was the ending point for me ever paying for a paddy wagon tour again . i had wonderful time with a nice english lad talking about life and which way we were going to go in life . i he had to leave 25 mins before me .. i went on to the gift shop and looked at my watch to see what time it was ironically it was 247 so i had tons of time . or so i thought it was 252 when i went outside to see .....


the tour bus was pulling out of the car park leaving me there i ran as fast as i could but no effort to catch it .. so here is kim left on the cliffs of moher all alone and no way of getting back to cork in anytime ... so my brain kicked into hornby mode what would you do if you had no way of what way to walk or go back to limerick to meet your other bus driver .. you hitchhike . thats what i did up the road three mins to get picked up by a nice irish guy named raymond odonell.. that was the start of things going good .he drove about five mins up the road and relized that we would never catch the tour bus so he dorve back to the cliffs to ring the company . we found out that the driver had left two other girls at the cliffs too and the dirver would be back in few mins to get us .. so i got out and thanked the kindness of yet another irish person .. i went back to the cliffs to find out that the tour guide would take an hour to get back it was not a nice hour the two other girls whined about the dirver and how crappy it was . they were americans and not really well traveled i just sat there and thought what a story for this blog ..


after the tour guide came back it was a real unventful trip back to town and kilany house . i called and bugged the tour company to get my money back they would not refund the money .. i got free tour to belfast for the day two times as much as what the other one costed nice if you ask me ...

  1. Holy moley... I think only you could get away with hitch-hiking in a foreign country and not have anything bad happen!
