Blarney Castle


We arrived at the famous Blarney Castle and we were preparing ourselves for the standard 10 Euro entrance and 2km walk.



Luckily no 2km walk... instead we had a one hour line-up to climb to the top of the castle.  The line continues inside and all the way up four floors of spiral staircases.  Marc's not good with waiting in line, he thought the group of Swedish chefs behind us were getting a little to close. 


The stairs were incredibly narrow, the rope is the hand-rail and it's completely vertical.


Marc's kissing of the stone will give him the gift of gab!  By the way, there was no process to clean the stones between kissers, but so far he has not shown any symptoms of communicable diseases.


Mary at the top of the castle, not at all tired from her 99 step climb!
