Burren day: 26.8-mile loop through the Burren.
South from hotel on N67, climb Corkscrew Hill, then backroads to Kilfenora,
backroads to the Poulnabrone Dolmen, stop for guided tour of the Burren,
visit Aillwee Caves, then sharp left on N67 and back to hotel.
(Note: all pix have a small blurry spot at right center,
the result of a fingerprint on the lens)
