Heading to Waterford today.

I downloaded an offline gps map app. Giving it a test while here also switched back to my galaxy s3.

Pictures and updates at the next free wifi I find.

First stop is Blarney Castle. And no I’m not going to kiss the blarney stone; that has to be the most unsanitary spot in Ireland.

Blarney Stone up close.

At the Blarney Castle is a garden of poisonous plants guess what was in the garden…

What the hell? Is that marijuana?

Took the stout challenge at the Mill bar and got the 3 samples right. Beamish was the best of the 3, and being so close to Cork you really can’t get Guinnes they make Bemish here. Think of it as a Bub vs Miller rivalry yet with good tasting drinks.

Hotel charges €4 for Internet access and the signal in my room is crap. Will have to go looking for a coffee bar with free wifi.

This room here in Waterford has had the best view. My window is directly over the hotel entrance facing the river.

Walking tour of the city very soon.
