Very early start but arrived in Ireland to be greeted by Claire at the Airport. After we stopped in at her apartment we went to the Jameson's Distillery, Cobh (last port of the Titanic), Middleton for Bangers and Mash and then on to an excellent pub playing Traditional Irish Music. Got very drunk on lots of different beers - great!
Next day I slept till the afternoon, did a bit of shopping, had dinner at the Ivory Tower restaurant and then met up with a group of Claire's friends for another night of drinking.
On Sunday we we to Blarney Castle to kiss the stone. Some say it gives you the gift of the gab (already have it) and some say it makes you more eloquent (can I get much more eloquent?). We headed over to Cappoquin, which is Claire's home town. We drank a few Bulmer's ciders on the roof. Ireland has been really warm since I've been here and really, it's just another excuse to drink. Having new potatoes and home-made Shepard's Pie tonight then off to see a Hurling match tomorrow and then back to Cork to get ready to fly back to London on Tuesday.
If you ever have the opportunity to visit Ireland - do it! Gorgeous scenery, beautiful people and delicious food and beer.

Did the Blarney Stone bring a tear to the eye?
