Last weekend recap - Blarney Castle (June 4)


The town of Blarney, home of the 15th century Blarney Castle and Stone, is a 20-minute bus ride from Cork for a round trip bus ticket of 6.20 Euro. It makes for a beautiful day trip on good-weather days. admission is 10 for adults, 8 for students. To reach the top, you have to ascend a narrow spiraling staircase that seems to get narrower as you get higher. It provides a great view of the countryside, and you can even lie on your back, hang on to two parallel bars, tilt your head back and kiss the stone. and don't forget to stare down at the ground 100 ft below.
