If you go to Ireland you have to "Kiss the Blarney Stone" where millions of people go every year and stand in a long line to acquire the gift of eloquence. Now I thought you just walk up to a big rock and bend over and kiss it. Oh, no. You walk up 4 flights of narrow circular stairs to get to the top where two guys are. One gives you a ticket for your picture if you want to buy one and the other helps you lay on your back, grab 2 side rails, slide out, tip your head back and upside down to kiss the germ ridden stone. You can take your own pictures with your cell phone but it goes pretty fast, so good luck with that.
These owls were tethered in front of the castle.
You really want to see the grounds as they are gorgeous. From the Fern plants and
poisonous plants (2 are from Harry Potter) to the Wishing Steps and water falls. If you walk down the stairs backward with your eyes closed all your wishes will come true. Only thing is it's about 25 stairs (not a few steps)so of course I'm the only one who did it and only had to peek a couple times at the end because I didn't know when it was going to end.
