Today I got up early and embarked on the Shamrocker Adventures Tour of Ireland. So far, so good!
We started off at what is apparently voted the best petrol station in Ireland. I have my doubts, but the rest of the day was much more impressive.
From there, we headed to Rock of Cashel, a castle up on a hill. Sadly, it is currently being renovated, but a castle is a castle, and I still enjoyed climbing around the hill and the view.
The highlight of the day’s trip was probably getting to kiss the Blarney Stone. Not that I need to be more chatty than I already am, but it is meant to give you the gift of the gab. Dangling over the side of the castle wall was an experience, as was the slight grope from the attendant making sure no one fell. Learnt later from the other girls that I wasn’t that special – he got us all!! Haha
The castle grounds were really beautiful too, with the autumn colours and then a huge castle.
We ended the day in Killarney, a reasonably small farming city home to 80% men by the state of the pub. We all went out and had a great dance to some rocked up Irish music (the live band was great).
Tomorrow, some seaside views xx
