Running Late in Ireland to Kiss the Blarney Stone
Рет қаралды 97,500
Жыл бұрынWe made a big time cruise mistake and it cost us money. It seemed that our day in Cork, Ireland would be uneventful but it did not start well. We did make our way to the Blarney Castle and contemplated kissing the Blarney Stone. We also spend time in Cork city proper in in the town of Kinsale. Here is a recap and lesson learned from day 3 of my Regal Princess British Isles cruise.

I was getting claustrophobic just watching you go up those short stairs… Thanks for bringing us along with y’all! Given a choice, it would be a big NOPE for me…

Blarney Stone? The Blarney stone powers were reportedly thanks to a witch. She cast a spell on the stone to thank a king who saved her from drowning. Kissing the Blarney stone is said to give “The Gift of Eloquence” or as some simply

Kissing the blarney stone is supposed to bless you with "the gift of gab" You're good Tony. Already gifted in that area!

Couldn’t bring myself to hang backwards a kiss a communal stone. I was totally grossed out by potential germies. And that was pre Covid. No way now and those tight spaces. Ahhh. But I sure enjoyed watching your adventure. Thank you for the entertainment. I appreciate your sense of humor Mr. Tony. Well done.

Tony, When we kissed the Blarney stone, the guides explained the reason the stairs were so narrow . It was for defensive purposes. All they had to do was kill the first attacker and the stairs would be blocked until they removed the that person and basically all they had to do was keep killing the fiirst soldier and that wouldn't require that many people to defend the stairs.

Thank you Tony! Ireland is on my bucket list. I think I will just enjoy the gardens. I keep forgetting but being reminded almost daily I'm in my senior years. I am too claustrophobic to handle those stairs. Thank you for SHOWING me I couldn't do it. I'm rather stubborn and if I'm told I can't do something I'll want to do it even more. It looked like everyone had a great time. I really enjoy watching real videos of travel. Television shows are just too edited and doesn't really give the real feeling of the experience. Keep the excursion videos coming along with the cruise news. 😀

Wed drove all around ireland in 2021. We went in November and it was great. No crowds and no tour buses on the roads. Kissed the Blarney Stone with a mask on during COVID. I waited a total of 10 minutes from the front of the castle to the stone.

I WOULD NOT want to take that excursion, so enjoyed seeing what it was like. I love cruising & it’s fun to see what’s available in some of the ports. I’m 83 so not sure how many more cruises are in my future. I went on a Disney cruise in January & have one on Carnival booked for November. Would love to see more excursions on your videos.

I don’t even know you but IM SO Proud Of You! And Everyone. I got claustrophobic just watching the climb. My daughter has been to Blarney Castle and climbed it and she is a young 30 and said it is pretty intense. She said she clung to that rope all the way up. This vlog is so good Tony!
