Welcome to the ShamRocker! ♥ 8:01 AM


Friday morning we woke up at 7 after very little sleep to check in with our tour group. After trying to figure out a most annoying shower where you would have to push a button every few minutes to keep the water running, and having some toast for breakfast we ambled onto the bus.

Our bus driver Kevin was a bit odd, but still cool and had a very Irish accent. It was a nice bus, big and comfy though after a day or two we found it much less comfortable. Our first stop of the day was the Rock of Cashel, which is a really cool old castle but we weren't given time to go into because of time constraints at getting to Kilarney where we were to spend the night.

Next we stopped at the Blarney castle to see the castle and of course, to Kiss the Blarney stone. It's a really cool old castle that you can actually walk through all of it and it seems like it's just been left from exactly the way it was however many years ago (minus the furniture and stuff). Kissing the Blarney Stone was quite the experience, you have to lean over backwards and have some guy that works there hold you so that you can't fall over.

After Blarney we went to Mitchelstown Cave, which was really really cool. It was quite a huge, expansive cave with three different caverns. There were stones that looked like faces, and one of the caverns has amazing acoustics so they use it for choral concerts. It was a very old and beautiful cave, but we weren't allowed to take photos so I don't have any to share with you.

We then got back on the bus and headed to Kilarney. Kilarney is a little town where we stayed the first night. Then we went out to dinner with a few of the people that were on the tour with us. Then we went out to a local pub and a club there with everyone from the tour. It was a lot of fun, the Irish are pretty much exactly what you would expect - crazy and fun. We got back quite late again and were pretty exauhsted. Our hostel was interesting - it wasn't dirty or anything but the bathrooms, showers and dorm rooms were all unisex.


The End.
