Hi weirdlings! I’m currently trying to winde down after a fun day so I can go to bed and do more tomorrow. Just wanted to pop in and tell you all about my adventures so far.

Yesterday, I went to Leap Castle; one of the more reportedly haunted castles in Ireland. It’s a private residence so I didn’t know if we could go in or not but we just drove up to it and knocked on the door and Sean, the lovely owner/ caretaker gladly invited us inside to come wander around. It’s much smaller than I expected but it’s so cozy in the living spaces. It felt like home. 

    

 
Today, we visited Duckett’s Grove and had the place all  to ourselves since all of the shops and tours were closed today. The castle is still open so you can explore it any time. It was nice to have it to ourselves.

  
After Duckett’s Grove, we headed to Blarney Castle where we wandered the grounds for a bit and I worked up the courage to climb the 100 steep spiral steps to the top so I could kiss the Blarney Stone.  Mission accomplished!  I can now tick that off of my bucket list. Hanging upside down through a hole in the top of a castle was pretty scary but I did it and I’m super happy I did! 

  
  
More adventures to come tomorrow! Time to hit the sack for the night. I’ll post more in depth blogs about each location and the individual experiences plus loads of more pictures as soon as I can. 

Stay tuned!
