Our stop at Kate Kearney's Cottage-Pub (for those of you bloggers that aren't aware Kearney is my maiden name)....
Blarney Castle.....long way up-narrow stone steps up to the top (I was praying Gary would make it to the top).....he made it!! No kissing of the stone..........
Mickey kissing the Blarney Stone.............I had a great time!!
Our nights stay - Waterford Castle is situated on its own little island.............It is so beautiful......we had to take a ferry to the island.........
This is the entrance to our suite.......there are only 19 rooms in the castle. Only 4 suites (we couldn't believe we were in one of them) The Ormonde Suite!!! See the pictures below!!! We are feeling special for one night!!!
Our bathroom!!!
Our Bed!!!
Our room with our fireplace..............we love it..........................
This is the bar.............we decided to eat here and get caught up on our blog page!! We couldn't connect when we were at the Killarney Plaza....so we caught up in the bar at Waterford Castle.........beautiful!!
This is part of the bar..............exceptional room...........there is a wedding tomorrow!! The whole place is reserved for the wedding. I'm sure it will be beautiful. The wedding couple will get the Presidential Suite which is more than twice as large as our room.........hard to believe. Again, we are so thankful and having such a great time. Gary is tired of driving around Ireland and I keep reminding him I am the Irish person on board and I need to look at the sights and for once he needs to drive..........HE IS SOOOOO TIRED!!! P.S. He has learned to do the roundabouts very well!!!! Hard to believe. At least there are no boulevards!!!............Thank you God!!!
finally I figure this out with Bridgett's help! I love these pics..... I sooooo want to go back there! thanx for the call luv you guys. (don't worry Gary , the Guardia are just bored and wanted to chat some americans up!) God bless you and Mary keep you
