Discovery's Travel Channel lists kissing the Blarney Stone amongst its 99 things to do before you die—check! Although not terribly massive, Blarney Castle is a pretty interesting castle. As the legend says, if you were to kiss the Blarney Stone, upside down, it will give you the gift of eloquence [can you tell?]. Ooo la la, right? Apparently so. Every year over 200,000 people travel from all over to come kiss this lil' guy. After succumbing to this tourist necessity we wandered over to a poison garden [so crazy, it even had a poisonous mandrake plant like in HP, not even kidding] and eventually back to our boy J.J.!
By the way, this is J.J. — our bus. Technically it's a charter bus by "J.J. Kavanaugh & Sons," but we [maybe just me actually haha] call him J.J.. It's great.
