As you can see by the photos above the boat ride out to the island of Skellig Michael was a fun one. It was like riding a roller coaster which normally is not my thing but I was determined not to get sea sick. The four of us were all fine but the French tourists on our boat were not ~ icky. The boat ride was just over an hour long if I remember correctly.
Then out of the mist an island appears with the sound of birds and the waves against the rocks filling the air. Having it be misty and foggy was perfect to add to the mystery of the island.
It was a bit of a hike up the slippery stone walkway before we even got to the start of the 600 stone steps that you have to climb to get to the old monk settlement at the top.
