Todd: So, Marion, for people that go to Ireland, what's one place they really should visit?


Marion: Well, one of my favorite spots is called the Cliffs 1 of Moher.


Todd: The Cliffs of Moher.


Marion: Yeah, and that's on the West Coast. It's quite near Galway, so it's a little bit to the south of Galway, I think.


Todd: OK, so it's near Galway.


Marion: Yeah.


Todd: OK.


Marion: That's a city on the West Coast of Ireland.


Todd: What is this place, the Cliffs of Moher?


Marion: The Cliffs of Moher are, as far as I know, are the tallest cliffs in Europe.


Todd: Really, the tallest?


Marion: Yeah. I'm pretty sure. Definitely 2 the tallest cliffs in Ireland, but I'm quite sure that we have that distinction, that they're actually the tallest cliffs in the whole of Europe.


Todd: Wow. That's pretty cool. (Yeah) So when you go to these cliffs, what can you do? Can you climb down them, or?


Marion: No, you can't. (What) I think if you tried, you might end up in the water and you may never get up again.


Todd: You serious?


Marion: Yeah, it's quite scary. When I went there for the first time, I was quite young, and I went with my mother and brother and uncle, and I remember my mother was holding my hand, and my brother, who was younger than me, was of course more brave than I was, so he was going right up the edge, and looking over and leaning out and I was really, really scared because at that time, there was no barrier to keep you from falling in, so yeah, really, really scary.


Todd: I bet 3. So when you go to the Cliffs of Moher is it really windy, does it rain a lot?


Marion: Yeah, it's quite windy because you're right on the edge of Europe, basically 4 you're facing the Atlantic ocean, which can get quite turbulent 5, there so you can see the waves crashing up against the cliffs. That's if you lean over of course. There's a flat area of rock where many tourists kind of lie on their stomachs and inch their way up to the edge and then they look over, but I was too scared when I went. I couldn't do it. I thought for sure I'd fall over and die.


Todd: So assuming 6 that someone goes to Ireland and they go to Dublin, they fly into Dublin, how will they get to the Cliffs of Moher?


Marion: Um, pretty easily. Actually, from Dublin you have the choice of going either by train, directly across to Galway, then from Galway, you would need to take a bus, so you could go from Dublin to Galway by bus as well, but the train is probably more comfortable and then it would be a shortish bus ride to the Cliffs of Moher, but obviously 7 in Ireland, you're best bet is really to hire a car if you can.


Todd: OK. Well, sounds like a good place to go. Thanks Marion.


Marion: No problem.
