Kissing The Blarney Stone
Blarney Castle near Cork, Ireland is a very popular tourist destination.
Therefore we decided to pay it a visit and kiss the Blarney stone. Why kiss a stone? Well kissing the Blarney stone is said to give you the gift of eloquence. Being an English student this is a very promising gift to me.
So we climbed up the tiny narrow spiral stairs all the way to the top of the castle so that we could hang upside down and kiss a stone that was once kissed by Winston Churchill too. Thousands of people have kissed this stone – this means thousands of cooties and using a disinfectant is not a bad idea. Not that we did.
Take a guess what this room is for?

Leprechauns and Pots of Gold
At the moment I am on a lovely and long holiday in Ireland. We arrived after a long trip from Johannesburg International to Dubai, then to Gatwick, and after spending the whole day there we left for Ireland. It has been a lovely trip so far.
We watched the Rugby SA vs The Lions. And we won. Twice! Yippeeeeeeee. I have been reading a lot too…onto a new book (another Marian Keyes – actually the only one of her books I haven’t read). Here are a few Pics from our trip.
