Really dark caves

Ciaran has been a Father Ted fan for quite a while now and one of the pulls of going to the West of Ireland was a chance to see the "Really Dark caves" from "The Mainland". These are Ailwee Caves in Clare.
So we were up early today and off to Clare.
The caves are really impressive and the tour was fantastic. Ciaran being into rocks managed to keep the guide on her toes with some impressive questions and to my surprise didn't mention Father Ted or respond "I don't believe it" (in the episode Richard Wilson from One Foot in the Grave is visiting the caves and typical Father Ted antics occur after Ted uses his catchphrase) to any of the facts. It certainly was his favourite day.

The rain of the yesterday meant that there was good flow in the caves and we only got a little wet after the tour when we went for a short climb up above the cave structure.
