Today we left the Bayview and Waterville and continued along the Ring of Kerry. This brought us to a brief stop at Sneem very early in the morning. The town was small and not yet open when we got there. There was some very nice visuals.
After Sneem we drove a bit further, had a coffee stop at the Gap of Moll and then moved on to Blarney to see the castle, the stone and the Woolen Mills (which is a very big store). There I climbed to the top of the castle but did not kiss the Blarney Stone. They require you hang over the edge of the castle upside down to do it. To be honest, I had made up my mind I wasn’t kissing it before I went up there. The castle is ruined in proper Irish format, but it was still quite nice. For certain reasons I can’t explain how much I spent in the Woolen Mills.
After leaving Blarney we traveled to Waterford with a short photo stop. At Waterford we took a walking tour of the old city of Waterford which is apparently now 1003 years old, the oldest city in Ireland. There is less preservation of the old stuff in Ireland but there still was some to be seen. The guide gave us a few stories about the area. Overall the walking tour was fun, but it was supposed to finish up in a local pub, the cost of the first pint included in the cost of the walking tour. Apparently our guide messed up the price and took us aside before we went into the pub and asked us to pay the rest or skip the drink. We skipped the drink. Majorly not impressed with this move.
I have placed the images from today here.
