Day # 4 The Rock of Cashel, The Vee

Well, we are back on the Internet, so here is Day 4.

Our first stop was to a town called Cashel which is known for its castle, named the Rock. It was a huge structure that was basically located straight up a hill on all sides. It was originally a church, but then they built a castle on the site as well.

There were neat archways, great engravings on the rock walls, and some amazing gravestones.

We then hiked to an old abbey, which we had all to ourselves. We located it while we were on the Rock. The ruins were breathtaking, and we had a great photo op.

We then drove up a mountain pass that the locals call the Vee. Once we reached the top, there was an amazing view of the valley below. There were so many different colors of green, and the mountains in the background made for a spectacular view.

Lastly, we ended the day at our new destination, Cork City. The storefronts were, like all other cities, colorful. Our Bed and Breakfast room was adequate, and we walked around looking for a recommended restaurant for 2 hours before finding it. We decided not to eat there!

Day 4 was one of the most beautiful days in terms of scenery, and we will never forget it!
