Crystal and a castle- Kiss me, I'm Irish!

We got off our Ferry at Rosslare and headed to Waterford to have a look at the famous Waterford Crystal Factory. We took a guided tour and found out that this factory had made trophies for Wimbeldon, Irish Derby and a trophy for Tiger Woods that he had won recently. The tour actually brought you face to face with master crafts men and you could talk to them while they were making a intricate vase of expensive crystal.

We then made our way to Blarney and set up Camp. Once we had finished we made our way to the Blarney Castle, you guessed it to Kiss the Blarney Stone. To kiss the stone you have to walk up 100 steps in the castle's steep spiral stair case to the top. Once at the top you are told to sit down and slide backwards off the ledge with only a man holding you. You then have to bend your back and kiss the Blarney stone.
