This morning we woke to totally calm seas and brilliant sunshine. Absolutely perfect day and we are in Kikronan. There is a population of 300 here. We took our zodiac ashore and we were taken by local transport to a drop off point to walk to an old fort.

This fort is really just a circle of stones probably for religious ceremonies but built at the edge of a steep cliff. Little rocky and steep at the end but most of us made it to the top. It was really worth the hike the steep cliffs on each side and the view was incredible. This is final pathway to the top.

I was thrilled to get to the top.

The cliffs from the fort, very rugged and steep.

Such a small and remote place. They have a bank open 2 days a week in the summer and 1 day a week in the winter. This was a neat sight. Look at the hair around the horses hoof. Lots of horses on the island.

Here they sell Aran sweaters. Each clan has a unique pattern. I was considering buying one but too heavy so I decided against it.
