Blarney in County Cork, Éire; Because we had been to Blarney Castle in 2008 we didn't bother this time. We had already "kissed the Blarney stone" so we discussed whether we should do it again or not. We decided that we shouldn't do it again in case it negated our first kiss. Also, we hadn't forgotten waiting in line just to kiss a rock that millions of others have kissed.
