Honeymoon in Ireland: Part 1 - 7 by Larissa
We can follow Larissa's honeymoon in Ireland starting in Dublin, onto Glendalough in Wicklow and some horseriding, from there to Carlow, Kilkenny and the Rock of Cashel for some more sightseeing, and then off to Kinsale in Cork for some good seafood. The final part of this week's blogs brings her to Blarney Castle and Killarney and a treacherous drive around the Ring of Kerry.
