Smallest Island Continued...

The group then decided that we wanted to be lazy so we rented two carriages and wandered the island on these which was helpful because my leg was sore from the day before. That rhymed. unintentionally. It was a pretty cool island it had some run down castles on it and this giant shipwrecked boat which was gnarly.  
I believe the castle was called O'Brien's Castle, but i could be wrong but it was really tight from a distance. We did not get a chance to go to it because we did not want to hike to it but the boat that we went to was really cool.
This is a view of the back of the island once again proving that everything in Ireland is photogenic.  The carriage then proceeded over the ridge to the left of the picture and to the shipwreck.
The shipwreck was pretty cool it was completely rusted out and you could go climbing in it and what not. Due to my leg being injured I was not able to enter, but I got Emily to take some good pictures for me which was sweet.  Here are some photos of the inside.
 After our ride, everyone was needing a break and we were pretty hungry. So we headed to a bar on the island to hangout until our ferry ride back to the mainland.  Fun fact they call some boats hookers. Ponder that one. Maybe they let people ride them for money maybe that's the connection. Never mind I just solved that dilemma for you. You're welcome.
