Ádh mór de na Gaeilge


So me and 2 of my roomates Pat and Bill went with 2 girls Carrie and Sara Jayne to Cork, Ireland for the weekend. Well from Thursday to Saturday. This is probably one of the best groups ever assembled! Everything just worked out and nothing seemed to go wrong.
We booked a B&B (Bed and Breakfast) for 4 people and came with 5. The lady didnt seem to have a problem with it being 5 people, which was great and worked in our favor. The B&B was about a 20 minute walk from the city centre and about a 30 minute drive from the airport. The taxi driver that drove us name was Tony and he so cool and very chill. Dropping us off at the B&B, he gave us his card. We definitely used it the whole weekend haha
The B&B served us breakfast and we had the option of an irish breakfast which we took advantage of. An Irish Breakfast was bacon, sausages, eggs, toast, hash browns, tomatoes, mushrooms and 2 other things that i didnt have knowledge of so i didnt eat it!

We visited Blarneys castle, house and kissed the blarneys stone which suppose to give you eloquence! The whole day was sunny and just walking around Barneys was fun. It was alot of stuff to see from stones, to waterfalls. A bride and groom was also there taking pics as well.
we walked around looking for food after .. ALL which were EXPENSIVE!! IRELAND IS SOOOOO EXPENSIVE ITS CRAZY!!
we finally found a spot called "SPUD MURPHYS" its cheap and the guy Wade is nice and studied in the US at one point. He told us a few places to go out. The night after predrinking we didnt find one place he actually mentioned! Most places had a cover charge but we did get into 3 places i think which were fun! o of course we called Tony to drive us home lol
The next day we were leaving but visited a few places before the departure. St. Annes church, St Fin Barres Cathedral, Cork College University which looks amazing and of course visited Spud's as a last meal lol

Overall i had a good time in Cork and its good we only stayed the amount of days that we did because its a small town and theres not much to do!

LUCK OF THE IRISH!
