The White Cliffs and the Three Sisters rocks with Mt Taranaki/Mt Egmont (height 2518 meters) in the distance. And, the Whale Family is holidaying in this region at present. They sent me this card with a Kia Ora (Greetings from NZ). Same to you friends – have a good time.

Ireland – The Cliffs of Moher
These majestic cliffs, among the most magnificent stretches of cliff scenery in these islands, front the Atlantic to a height of nearly 200m and extend for a distance of 8 km from Hag’s Head due West of hisscanner to a point beyond O’Brien’s Tower. They take their name from a ruined promontory fort, Mothar, which was demolished during the Napoleonic wars to make room for a signal tower. This lovely card is from Emma.
