What a beautiful day we woke up to! We sat down to eggs and bacon at our bed-and-breakfast that really fueled us for the day ahead. Once we got the car loaded we headed on out for the long drive to Kilkenny. Kilkenny is a beautiful medieval city which really made me feel like I was back in Europe. When we reached Kilkinny we lathered up with peanut butter and Nutella some fresh bread Tara grabbed from a local bread stand, and then headed out for exploration! Our first stop was Kilkenny castle. The castle was about 800 years old but it had been renovated some time back so it had more of a renaissance look and feel. From there we walked down to the St Canice’s Cathedral and it was every bit of the medieval look and feel you would you would expect from its time period. We climbed the tower next to it and I think it freak my wife and I out! It seemed like forever before we reached the top! Once we left Kilkenny we head out for Cork. The drive to Cork was straight up awesome! It was just like out of the movies; really narrow roads with stone walls that were grown over with high foliage! The foliage was so high that we couldn't see around any corners and I know it was freaking Danny out driving! The drive had many old ruins of buildings and castles worn down from centuries of decay! I loved every minute of it! If you're ever in Ireland, Kilkenny is a must.
