The bottom 3 pictures are from around Blarney Castle note the castle is a lot bigger than this picture actually shows there are caves under the castle that are fun to check out as well and acres of gardens to walk around with ancient ruins hidden in the woods we went early in the morning to avoid the crowds and it was a great time! we where there probaly a half of a day and I bet we didn't see half of it! I will probably go there again just to keep exploring next time I'm over there!

All I know about Ireland is what I saw in "Patriot Games", and lately in "Sons of Anarchy".
Both of which do not paint a very normal picture, unless everyone is murdering everyone and riding motorcycles. Take some pics of the people so we can verify
Went to Scotland once, im big into the historical tour stuff, I spent the entire trip looking at castles and battle grounds non stop. Post some pics when you get back!

should be a great trip!

He was up until 6 or 8 in the morning every night drinking with the teams, every team clubhouse had a complete bar and lounge attached.
I largely gave up drinking a couple years ago, but if thats your thing, he said that the hotels he stayed in all had secret 24hour speak easy type rooms when the bar closed, where you could go in at closing time, and still drink as long as you could. Basically the room has a phone with a connection to the front desk, and the guy watching the desk will keep bringing you beer.
Sounds pretty neat, you will have to verify this. He also might have gotten special treatment since he was in a group of about 50 US rugby team players, all big athletic guys with a serious appetite for beer, and usually traveling in company with the Irish teams, so imagine 100+ rugby players decending on bars and clubs all screaming team songs.

one of my subletters just got back from a week long Rugby team tour in Dublin. He looked to have been aged about 15 years, I guess the Irish take the whole drinkup tradition after a game of rugby very seriously.

04-26-2012, 07:21 PM #11Sounds pretty cool. I am into drinking when the occasion is right. But my older body is not like me at 19-20 years old. That's when I was a fish.
