We arrived around 8 in the evening in Cork, we walked through
the city and we had a quick meal. After that, we started our route through the
main pubs in the city. Cork is a busy city at night, with lots of tourists and
students. therefore it is not difficult to find pubs with nice life
music. I was strongly
recommended to go to Sin E pub where on a normal night ten different
artists can play. Another awesome pub
to go is Corner House.
The next Morning, after our Irish Brekfast ...
It has plenty of local Irish craft productss
After that we went to visit Blarney. We were delighted with the
castle, the green gardens that surround it, and the many trails through the
lush forests nearby. The castle just retains its structure, but it has great
appeal. According to tradition if you kiss the "Blarney Stone", on
top of a tower, you get the gift of
eloquence. Underneath the castle there is a small cave to visit where you can
get, although you cannot reach the whole of it.
When we finished visiting Blarney we took the N22 road to
Killarney. It is a small town in County Kerry, which is part of Killarney National Park. The city is full of
pubs and nice restaurants, we ate quite well there.
After dinner we took the N21 road to Limerick, where we slept that night.
