On the last day I was in Ireland I went to the Blarney Castle
This is the bottom of the castle and the dungeons
I dont know if the gate was supposed to be opened. I walked in a little ways, but it gets real small and I didn't want to crawl through the mud inside and there was no light
A view from the base
The entrance
Thats the blarney stone in the middle that has the pipes around it for safety. By kissing the stone you get the gift of eloquence. And yes I did kiss is.
The stairs to the top were very steep and the only think to hold onto was this rope
Looking down from the top
There was a line at the top to kiss the stone. They also take your picture which you can pay 25$ to keep.
Another view of the castle
Some plant with big leaves
A cool looking tree that had a lot of smaller branches and no real main trunk.
The blarney house which they don't allow people to view anymore, unless you have a wedding there.
