Top ten overrated international travel destinations

Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

I'd say I felt about the Blarney Castle as you did until forced to do it with relatives on a trip I arranged. After that I have taken it back. It's one of the few places where you can actually ascend to the upper floors of this type of structure, and see what those passages, stairs, walkways, etc, feel like from the inside.

As for kissing the stone, there are plenty of other unsanitary things to get sick from. None of my relatives got sick. I doubt the kind of contact most people make with it will cause them to catch anything If they aren't licking it.

But if you don't catch something from a piece of rock so many have had contact with, then does that mean it DID give you luck?

I too, climed the stairs at Blarney Castle. I did not kiss the stone. I did blow a kiss to it. Aftering hearing a coupole of stories of what it really was, there was no way I was going to touch it with my lipsPS: Saw the Cliffs of Moher in 2004 and returned to it in 2008. they have ruined it with all the safety walls and comercialization.
Any trip to Belgium is worth it just for the chocolate. Best on earth MMMMMMM
