Today was mostly a day of travel, and that is no Blarney (ha ha - read further).
We left Waterford and took a leisurely drive over to Killarney. It was overcast and we had light rain on and off. Fortunately when we were outside the bus it was not raining.
Our first stop was in the town of Younghal. The movie 'Moby Dick" was filmed here. This was really a rest stop and the town happened to be there.
Next we stopped in the town of Blarney for several hours. Yes, all four of us climbed up 100 steps to the castle tower and kissed the Blarney Stone. And we have photographs to prove it. One of us even kissed the ground (actually the stone wall because the ground was too far down) at the bottom when we got down. The steps were circular going up and down the towers and were maybe only 2 foot wide at most. On the way up the hand rail was only a rope secured at the center section.
From here is was a short ride over to Killarney where we will be for the next three nights (counting tonight).
Time to get the wash caught up and all the other miscellaneous things that get set aside.
Happy Trails to you, from
The Wayward Traveler and his tired companions.
