Going to dublin from cork, it's hard not to notice the castle atop the hill, we were wondering how to get there, it took us another trip to get the glimpse of the name:The Rock of Cashel.     Standing on the limestone rock, the castle's presence dominates the whole town .The Rock of Cashel is apparently the site that St.Patrick converted the king of Munster. Unfortunately the saint accidentally stabbed the king in the foot with his crosier. The king, thinking it was part of …

Two week trip to Ireland with Ryan (foolz0r) and Dave (Dave). Lots of rain, Guinness, and green. We also went to the first ever international TravBuddy get-together in Bunratty. Under construction: more photos and blogs coming soon!

El castillo de Cashel (Rock of Cashel) es impresionante no sólo por la construccion en sí, si no tambien por su emplazamiento. Es increible ver su silueta a lo lejos y pasear entre sus muros.

Belgium, Ireland, Germany and Luxembourg in July 2000.

My first time in Europe! I was studying abroad in Ireland and while there I visited magical London, home to Prince Harry! And Paris the "city of love" & home of the Eiffel Tower :-D

I had heard rumor of how ominous this site was, but until you stand below the walls and understand the size of this place, you just don't understand. I always thought it was more of a castle. I was a little shocked to find out that it was a church and monestary. The walls, over 10 feet thick in most areas, are overwhelming large and were meant to protect the wealth of the church during Viking raids and wars. We had a wonderful tour guide that took the time to explain all of the intricacies…

After a year of abstinence, I could take my first vacation this year, in April. It was great. I should return to make the north part!

We pulled into Cashel just at lunch time and were prompted escorted upstairs to the café/diner directly above the gift shop and store below.  A rather unusual setup but the tour director had made all the arrangements ahead and the cooks and helpers were all ready for large group.  We had Sheppard’s pie, a piece of Lemon pie, and a coke.  Actually quite good.  After lunch we were given a hour or so to walk up the hill to the Rock of Cashel.  This is the only hill fo…

--this aint finished--Ireland was a blast! It is such a beautiful place and although I was only there for two days I enjoyed every minute of it.

In a nutshell, this trip encompassed London, Oxford, Stratford, Snowdonia National Park (Wales), Holyhead, Dublin and the Ring of Kerry. All of my photos have been added, so now I'm slowly but surely adding blogs to my entries in a very random fashion...

From Doolin we started driving south-east through the Burren area (lots of bleak rocky landscape, so wild and beautiful) and eventually made it to Cashel (somewhere in the middle of Ireland). It was a nice little town, the main tourist attraction being the Rock of Cashel - an old monastery atop of a big fat rock.  It was quite like Edinburgh Castle in many ways, although the rock is not quite so big and the buildings at Cashel are ruins.  We took a very informative guided tour (thou…

Two friends and I travelled to Ireland in March. We visited many locations, including Dublin over St. Patrick's Day.

You've got to do your own growing, no matter how tall your grandfather was. Irish proverb.
