A salt wind hits the windows as the Mercedes glides away from Cork, the low hills of Munster rolling past like page turns. By mid-morning the land opens: limestone pavements of the Burren give way to the cliff-line where Atlantic spray dares you to step closer. The Cliffs of Moher rise in layered shale and sandstone, a living edge carved by relentless waves; on clear days the Aran Islands sit like smudged ink on the horizon.
