Day 2: Blarney

See a variety of scenery today as you depart Dublin and drive
through rich farm country and busy market towns. Stop at a sheep farm
near Cashel to sample some home-baked scones with tea and learn a little
about Irish farming. Just outside Cork visit Blarney Castle where you
have an opportunity to acquire the gift of eloquence by kissing the
famous stone. Continue towards the mountainous country of Kerry and into

Muckross House. Then embark on Ireland's most popular scenic drive, the
Ring of Kerry, by skirting Ireland's highest mountains, the
Macgillycuddy's Reeks. Your route passes through Glenbeigh, with palm

evocative entertainment in Bunratty Castle will take you back in spirit
to the Middle Ages. (B, D)
