Next stop

"Nana comes from Sligo Bay"

Sligo was our next stop. We didn't get to see the bay but the town was lovely. We had tea in the yellow pub.

I love to hear them play the fiddle.

The whistle and the bodhran drum.

And though I love the rock and metal, Irish music is much more fun.

 

 

We wanted to hear some Irish music so we went to pub for tea and after tea we sat and listened to a band play some great Irish music. They used a whistle, bodhran drum, mandolin, banjo and guitar. We bought their CD so you will be able to listen to it when we get home.

 

I love to live in Aoteroa. I love to have my friends at home.

But I'm saving up to go to Cork, To kiss the old Blarney Stone.


 

 

Our last stop was Cork, and the castle at Blarney where you get to kiss the stone. We had to climb up about a 100 steps to the top of the Blarney Castle to get to the stone. Only Maggie would kiss it. It was really hard and scary as you had to lean backwards and out to the edge. A man was there to help you. We just took the photo. I hope you like it.

Also at the Blarney Castle was an amazing garden with witches kitchens and fairy rings. We saw this tree that reminded us of the tree in Crinkum Crankum. We made Maggie climb up in it so we could take her photo.

We had one more night in Ireland at a place called Kilkenny before we had to catch the plane and fly back to England.
