Blarney and the Ring
So now I'm a day behind on the blog, but it'll had to do...
after I last wrote, we met up with Anna's friend Connor in Cork...and he showed us some of the nightlife of cork...we were sitting at the bar at our hostel, listening to a couple of lads cover some english and irish songs...interesting crowd, 2 dirty old men, a bunch of travels, and acouple of local girls who looked like they should be in Baltimore! We went to a couple of other places after that...one that had people up to 80 years old, as well as other locals and tourists...it was an ecclectic crowd! The night ended after another bar, and a doner kebob to keep the hangover away!
okay, so the morning started by a quick drive up to blarney castle, and the kiss of the blarney stone...yes I did wash my face after...and now I have the gift of eloquence according to legend...the castle was nice, but a bit of a tourist trap...
and then a bit more driving brings us to Killarney, the city and the national forest...and the ring of Kerry...180km of some of the most beautiful scenery in the world...words really can't describe the beauty...but there were mountains and beaches, water hitting rocks...animals, lovely small towns...narrow roads...breathtaking...the pictures are amazing!!! once again, being away from everything I know is absolutely great when you're in a place like that...
okay...so I have go now, but the cliffs of moher and the burren are still left to write about...words just won't do them justice either!
