Today’s morning started with a trip to the famous Blarney Castle and Gardens. We were really impressed by the gardens on the property, the castle was fantastic and we all climbed to the top to kiss the famous Blarney stone. A very narrow spiral staircase takes you to the top of the castle walls where you wait you turn to lean back to kiss the Blarney stone. We were early and the lineup was quite small, I can only imagine how long this could take with the summer crowds. I did not expect to enjoy the gardens as much as I did, we all agreed that the Fern Garden was our favourite part of the visit.
