the gift of the gab & other miracles

by globetrott - last update: Oct 6, 2006

Blarney castle is one of the places, almost every bustour through Ireland is taking you to.
They keep telling you, that you will get the "gift of the Gab" when you kiss a stone on top of the castle....
....DONT believe them...
The main reason to go there is that they have lots of parking-spaces there & lots of restrooms
there is a large shop for souvenirs, for knit-wear etc.
The castle and this place is fine in many ways, it simply would not change anything in your life, when you lean down on top of the castle, bend back and kiss the "Blarney-stone"

 Beautiful castle, I just hope I will be able to reach it somehow. But I won't attempt to kiss the Blarney Stone - I might have the gift of the gab already, ask my husband...:)) Loved the church ruins too - Ireland looks so romantic in your pictures.

 Interesting to read your impressions of Blarney. You seem to have confirmed some of my speculations.

 I've always wanted the gift of gab, but I'm afraid that with all the lips that have been on that stone, I might get some other gifts too. Thanks for enlarging the type for me to read easier.

 Good views of one of Ireland's many great castles. My husband & sons did the kissing...my fear of height kept me on the sidelines..not needing any blarney. :-)
