After our first day in Dublin, Cong and Galway followed by our second day touring the Cliffs of Moher and Killarney, we headed to Blarney. Before we left, we took a carriage ride through Killarney and the National Park.

That poor horse! Look at how many people are on the sleigh.

Then it was off to visit the Blarney Castle.

And to kiss the Blarney Stone…

Which I did, I kissed it! I know there are countless tales of people doing unspeakable things to it but ya know what? When am I ever going to get an opportunity like this!

Since it was a rainy start to the day, we saw an incredible rainbow atop the castle.

We then headed to the beautiful Rock of Castle Dunamase in the Golden.

We were back in Dublin by 5:30pm. This was a great tour company to explore Ireland with – especially being a student or backpacker. The Irish are so friendly to visitors. It was a wonderful trip and I encourage you to visit at least once in your life!
