Day 4 - Kilkenny to Kinsale

Thanks to the owners of The Meadows, we arrived in Kinsale with little trouble. As soon as we got into the outskirts of the city, we called the owners of the next B&B and asked when we would be allowed to get our rooms. At first, the gentleman said to come right up but then he called back a little while later and said that his wife would not be there until 5 and asked us to wait. (I guess with the problems we were having navigating through town, we took too long.) We got the call around 1 so that was a 4 hour wait.

I was totally exhausted and not up for a lovely walk through town so Nick and I parked in a parking lot outside of town and I took a nap in the back seat while he played DS. After Nick woke me up, we decided to walk into town and I'm guessing that it was probably a mile or so in. We tried to find somewhere to eat and that took some doing since he's so picky.

There was a little shop on the main street that sells bagels so I bought Nick one of those and had a Chicken Caesar salad that was incredibly delicious. Then he had two scoops of ice cream and I had apple crisp with cream on top. That "meal" was very expensive as it came to $40.
We walked back to the car which exhausted the poor monkey and drove back into town to try and find their house. I got lost again, had to turn around, navigated through the crazy streets and eventually found their house.

There's not too much to say about that B&B except that they were kind enough to let Nick play in the backyard with their daughter and he had a ball jumping on their trampoline. It was a much needed break for both of us because 24/7 time together can kill anyone. It also was pretty cold in the room that night...Nick complained the next morning about it.

The owners of the B&B were nice but they didn't follow through on their promise to help us navigate the next morning. I had chosen Kinsale as our destination because there is a lighthouse not too far from there that I really wanted to see. However, I wasn't going to try and figure out how to get there and then figure out how to get all the way north.

I'm getting better at driving through crowded cities and Nick is pretty impressed with my driving skills.

Nick says that when he went on the trampoline, he did the splits in the air. He says that the mint ice cream that he ate was the same as the Hagen Daaz ice cream milkshake that he had at Cherry Creek Mall. He also says that the trip is very fascinating.
