Baby Dolphin! And some caving too!

Managed to bag one.

P8010177

A great pic of the little baby dolphin in the Shannon. Lots of them everywhere, but very hard to capture on film. A great couple of hours on a little boat. Took a while to find them, but they were following a schooner. Think they probably prefer that to the engine noise.

We then went to a very lovely cave system just outside Doolin, and much better than the Ailwee caves which is more like walking around a concreted place than Doolin, which was bending over a lot, wearing a hard had, and feeling like you were in the Descent film.

Was privileged to see the second biggest stalactite in the world.  100 metres below the surface. With the drip drip drip still making it bigger and bigger.

With the river below it running back to the sea.

It was a truly humbling experience.
