Today we woke up and really wanted to drive the "Ring of Kerry" because it's supposed to be beautiful, however Patrick (our tour guide yesterday) told us it would take us 4-5 hours to drive the entire thing! We knew we wouldn't have time since we also wanted to go to the Blarney Castle on our way to Kilkenny, so we decided against the Ring on this trip (plus it was raining when we woke up, so it probably wouldn't have been as enjoyable.) So, we packed up and headed for the Blarney Castle.
The grounds of the Blarney Castle are just gorgeous!
This is the look out tower, I just thought it was cool.
This is the view from the top of the castle. So pretty!
This is possibly my favorite picture from the trip.
I couldn't get as good of an angle of Bryce as he could of me. It's probably the extra 15 inches he has on me that helped him.
Bryce and Dan at the top of the Blarney Castle.
We thought this tree was beautiful. So of course we took a picture.
These were the stairs down from the top of the Castle. The ones on the way up we even MORE narrow!!
After we all made it to the top (and some of us kissed the Blarney Stone) we grabbed some food and continued our trip to Kilkenny. It rained along the way and we saw an amazing rainbow. I tried to get a picture, it's pretty faint, but you can kind of see it.
This is the Kilkenny Castle. I'll write more about it in Day Eight's entry!
