Friday, September 4th
We were doomed from the start, our plan to get to Cashel was interrupted by lousy road signs and questionable navigation. So mid plan we headed for Waterford on the south coast. This was the only time Rick Steves failed us. The Waterford Crystal factory closed down in January and over 1000 people lost their jobs. We looked around the showroom and decided there was no crystal in our future. But being the optimists that we are, we decided to go on to Cashel, but couldn't get any phone numbers for B&Bs to work.
So plan "C" took us to Kilkenny. We found the B&B with no problem in spite of huge traffic jams due to the upcoming hurling match with Kilkenny's black and amber vs. Tipperary's blue and gold. These folks are crazy about this sport, hockey in the US being the closest comparable sport.
Our B&B was Breagagh View. No internet, even though Paul, the 23 year old son of the owners, did his best to help with my computer. We planned to see the sights in Kilkenny and then head to Cashel.
