We went from Kinsale to Cashel to Kilkenny. Our B&B in Kinsale was "epic" as the Brits would say! If you ever find yourself in Kinsale you stay at the Perryville House! Truly top notch! Andrew the innkeeper keeps bees so there is real honeycomb at breakfast! After an assortment of fresh oysters, crab, and shrimp for lunch we hit the road to Kilkenny. Rick Steves advised us to skip the Blarney Castle (tourist trap!) so instead we stopped at the Rock of Cashel. St. Patrick baptized the King of Munster at this beautiful 12th century castle/cathedral. We were in and out of Cashel and on to Kilkenny, which I'm really enjoying. Its probably around the same size as Killarney, but it seems less touristy. We went on a phenomenal Irish music pub crawl and learned some really cool tidbits about Irish musical history. Angie plans to take up the fiddle as soon as we get back!
