So yesterday I went on a one day tour to Glendough and Kilkenny. I tried to write this post yesterday buy my Internet was sketchy and it wouldn't publish.
The bus left at 9 am and went to Glendough, known as Ireland's Garden. It has beautiful nature trails but used to have a monastic settlement there as well. The ruins can be walked through along with all the graves in the area.
From Glendough we proceeded through the Wicklow mountains which were very pretty though I actually slept for most of the drive because the Dramamine I took knocked me out plus I was exhausted.
Then I spent about three hours exploring Kilkenny. I got to visit St. Canice's Cathedral, St. Mary's Cathedral, the Black Feren Gate, and Kilkenny Castle. I couldn't find Black Abbey unfortunately. I actually might have walked right by it because I thought it was supposed to be huge but it's actually small compared to the two Cathedrals.
Today my 6 day all Ireland tour begins. I'm currently on the bus on the way to Belfast. I've even found a friend! I just realized I don't know her name but she is from Switzerland!
