It’s Thursday but I’m trying to catch you up a bit because we didn’t have internet last night in our B&B. We had free wi-fi in our hotel lobby in Dublin and free wi-fi in both of the first two B&Bs we stayed at. Last night was a cute little place but they didn’t have any.
It was a blue sky day, perfect weather! We stopped just outside of Kinsale at the Charles Fort in the morning. One of the biggest most well preserved star forts in all of Ireland. It was very informative and interesting. The fort ground stretched about 12 acres so there was a lot of exploring to be had. We could see sailboats from the fort in and out of the harbour.
Then we made our way back through Cork and out towards Blarney. We stopped at a shopping center just north of Cork and spent way too much time trying to buy a card reader for my camera and snack food.
Blarney wasn’t far from Cork and we made good time. Blarney was quite empty of tourist so we had the place pretty much to ourselves. It’s one of the biggest tourist traps but we enjoyed the heck out of the place. Sara and I both kissed the Blarney stone unceremoniously.
We had an easy drive into Kenmare which was by far the cutest and easiest tiny little town to drive in. We held out until 8pm to go to a local pub for dinner and live music but the music wasn’t to be found which was a bit of a bummer. But we both had a great meal.
Our room was cozy and we slept well.
