Blarney Stone.........

Yesterday was a lovely day, my husband took me too

Blarney Castle (as he knows I want to kiss the stone!).  We were lucky it was a lovely sunny day and we took loads of photos. There are lovely walks and gardens there too, and I was mesmerized by the place.  You have to be fit though to make it up the 100 narrow, slippery spiral steps to the top..... however, once you are there, it's worth it.  The views are spectacular and the rooms (well, old empty stone rooms) transport you back to another time.  You just can't imagine them cooking in such a small space with a stone fire only to cook with. I was brave and did kiss the Blarney stone, you have to lie back and do it and it feels like you are falling off the wall downwards, very scary not for the faint hearted! But even if you cannot get up to the top it is worth a visit. 13 euros per adult and worth every cent! Truly magical day for us! Have a good week everyone! xx

Fancy a go!
