Curracloe & Kilkenny

We spent 3 nights in Curracloe and honestly didn't do very much. We went to a wildlife reserve (which seemed to only have geese, lots and lots of geese), to the beach (which was freezing cold), out for lunch each day (once at the pub attached to our hotel and twice we drove into Wexford), we explored the town of Wexford and that was about it for Curracloe.

From Curracloe we went to Kilkenny for one night. In Kilkenny we went to the Rothe House which is a 17th century merchants house that has been turned into a bit of a museum. We walked around the town and had a look around the gardens and the outside of the Kilkenny Castle. We went to a couple of cathedrals but didn't go inside any of them, just looked around the outside. We had a delicious dinner in a pub sitting by the fire (which was very welcome after our freezing day walking around the town) and Ewen discovered a beer which is now one of his favourites, i think it was called Smithwick. The next day we left for Cork.
Just a heads up Dad, this is what the door on my house is going to look like...
