We found out what we missed - breakfast was spectacular! Kathleen and Jack put on a wonderful spread at the castle - including their hens' eggs and cows' milk.
Then we were off to see the oldest working lighthouse in the world at Hook's Head. On the way we saw an amazing shipwreck - the ribs of the ship were exposed - really amazing. We then drove through New Ross which is where the Kennedy clan is from. Then we stopped for lunch in Waterford before driving through and onto Kinsale. That is a picturesque fishing village, now overrun by tourists and foodies. We stayed at the Olde Bakery with Chris and Tom - they are a very funny couple.
The driving is often winding and occasionally treacherous - especially when you are trying to share a particularly narrow road with an oncoming tourbus. Though I must admit, I like the adventure of it. :-)
