Off To See the Wizard, I Mean Castle
Hi all,
Just heading out of Cork in an hour or so to the town of Kilkenny as mentioned before. It's raining off and on again here in the city, so the bus ride might be as hairy as before. These drivers drive like they're on the 401 at home, only the roads are treacharous (sp) at best...they peel around those corners, fly over the bumps and I have fingerprints left on many of them I think (the arms of the busses) LOL
Spent the evening in a pub (what???) with a new bunkmate from Germany where we swapped life stories, bought each other pints and ended up watching AllyMcBeal on the big screen...much to the chagrin of the dozen or so big lugs that walked through the door shortly after we asked the bartender to change the channel...apparently there was a big game on! We got about half of it watched before they made so much noise (no doubt on purpose) that we left...guess we had invaded their space LOL...went back to the hostel and watched The Beach with a few of the other hostelfolks...one from Australia (they're everywhere, just like the Americans), and a fellow from France. It was interesting watching this movie about travellers and not one of us from the country we are watching it in...
Besides Kilkenny Castle, I am hoping to get a tour of Dunmore Cave, just outside the town, as well as a night or two in Cahir, as they are supposed to have a grand castle there too that the Butler family live din, and where parts of Excalibur were filmed.
I'm sure they will have internet in Kilkenny somewhere so might get something off again in the next few days.
Cheers!
