Cork and Blarney - BEAUTIFUL DAY

My second daytour was to Cork and Blarney. It is the same meeting place for all who are going off on a daytour with Extreme Ireland. Clock 06:50, we left Dublin behind us and the first attraction was The Rock of Cashel.

We stop in the small village of Cashel, there The Rock of Cashel is located in. The medieval monastery perched high on a hill. The view when you stood at the grave stones of the monastery's north side was incredible. The gravesite was much like a movie, the crows flew around the monastery all the time and sat on both the gravestones and the building, the only thing that was missing was just a bit of darkness and fog.
We got to go in and see what it looked like inside the convent and it was like a mini museum. They had taken care of old stuff so you could see how they lived in the past and even ancient famous works.

The next stop was at Blarney Castle. It is a medieval castle set inside a park. The castle is among others known for The Blarney Stone as according to legend, kissing the stone endows the kisser with the gift of the gab (great eloquence or skill at flattery). It was really cool to walk around inside the castle and see how it looked. And there were also underground passages that you could crawl into, which was weird and funny at the same time. It was not just the castle that was very nice, but the park was incredibly beautiful. We got 1 hour and 45 minutes there but I had really been able to walk around there in the park all day long.

Last stop was the city of Cork. There we had 2 hours to walk around and check out what the city had to offer in cafes and shops. Cork is one of Ireland's largest cities.

A overall summary of this tour is that I'm very happy and satisfied. The driver might have been able to be a little more entertaining but the places we visited I really liked a lot. Especially Blarney Castle.
