Ireland

We have spent 4 beautiful days driving around the wonderful countryside in county Mayo, county Clare and County Kerry

We visited Blarney castle and climbed a million step up a very narrow ancient stone spiral staircase to kiss the Blarney Stone, unfortunately I was quite able to reach so just blew a kiss, yuck who wants to put their lips on a stone that hundreds of people before you have kissed, no thanks. Then we went on to the Jameson distillery for a wee dram

The Waterford crystal was so beautiful, we nearly bought a pair of gorgeous gold rimmed red wine glasses but decided it might be a little hard to get them home. The JFK homestead was very interesting and there is the original Morris minor seat chair that he sat in at his cousins house, this was only 5 weeks before he was assassinated.

We had a wonderful time in Dublin and had the most delicious steamed pork dumplings ever. The Guinness experience was amazing, we spent 3 hours there and enjoyed a tasting of a few of the beers on offer
