Cork - The Blarney Castle
We went for a day trip to Cork with my friend Male to visit The Blarney Castle. This is the oldest castle in Ireland and a must-do as tells you every Irish travel guide.
And this is why... On top of the castle you will find the magic Blarney stone, which, when kissed will give you the 'gift of the gab'. Of course you cant just stand upright and kiss the stone. Some Irish drunk came up with the idea that you have to get down on your back, bend over backwards (of course!) over a 50m metre drop, while being held by your legs and kiss this salty and bacteria loaden stone. And we all did it! Just magic...
This is the view from the top of the castle. 
Col found loads of shrooms. More magic...
Back home in Thurles. The girls after a bottle of Bacardi, ready to go out!

Ah... You arent really sposed to kiss that stone. The irish piss all over it. It's a joke they play onthe touristas.... hehehe.
that's what we were discussing, unfortunately after we kissed the stone. cause it really just looks like a middle age toilet and i imagine it to taste this salty.
