The communication with Paraic went very well. The day I was due to arrive he had to go to the mainland, but he sent me a message and his brother took me up to the house on the tractor. A funny experience! The house is a you see it on the photo's. Where I come from the farmer always lives near his field. But here the house is in the "village" and the field is somewhere else. I met Paraic the next morning when he served breakfast. As my ferry was due in the afternoon, he took my bags to his bike shop near the pier so I could walk around on the island. While waiting for the ferry I had a nice chat with him, and one of the dogs kept me company lying on my feet asking for cuddles.
If you go to the islands and you are not used to be on the sea, don't go from Doolin with the O'Brien ferry. I advise you go with the big boats from Galway. Same price but safer and more comfort.
