Cork, Ireland

Post by Caroline White & Clare Lynam

Today we started our day off in Cork, Ireland. We visited the Blarney Castle and kissed the Blarney Stone, a smooth piece of rock one hundred and twenty steep steps high. It was a life-changing experience! Next, we strolled through the poison garden, full of plants that are poisonous...next years teachers Christmas gifts (just kidding)! After that, we drove to Killarney, which is in the next county. The first thing we did was visit the Ross Castle on the shores of the Killarney Lake. It took our breath away! Then we were off on a horse and carriage ride through the national park. Finally, we took a double-decker bus tour of Killarney and the surrounding areas. Stayed tuned for our next adventure!
