Today we left Dublin to travel to Cork.On the way we stopped at a most unusual place. We are not sure how this place ended up on our tour. It seems you can not always trust the E-mail write up about a place. The place is definitely eccentric. The place is really old. The pamphlet said it had washroom facilities, which turned out to be a very old toliet in a back shed which the door did not close and 5 to 10 people had to use before flushing the toliet. The place is a working farm. The bus driver put a mat down at the entrance to the bus so we could wipe our feet. Inside the house were paintings of the owner everywhere. A very interesting collection for mature audiences I would say. The owners were away so the lead hand George an interesting fellow gave us the tour. There is ruin of an old church which was interesting. There were several cats, donkeys, geese, cows, ducks andchickens on the farm. The ladies missing their cats at home were glad to see the cats.

Killenny Castle
We stopped in Killenny for lunch. We bought some sandwiches and ate them in the park beside Killkenny castle. Not enough time for an inside visit. The castle is hug and amazing. Here are a few photos.
