We made our way up to St. Canice Cathedral. While we didn't go inside, it was a great place for photos and to learn about the history of the place.
We also walked around the gardens of The Butler House. Really stunning, especially with the leaves changing on the building. Again, some fun photos shot here!
And of course, we meandered around the castle grounds again.
Janet and I almost went on the Smithwick's Brewery tour, but it had set tour times, and we really weren't big on committing to have to be somewhere at a certain time on this trip. So we passed on the tour and just walked around the city some more.
We ended up having a late lunch at Matt the Millers where I was persuaded to try the black pudding stuffed in chicken. Meh. It definitely helped to have a bite of chicken with the blood sausage, but I still wouldn't recommend it. I would have been happier with Janet's order of chips.Janet and I found our way back to Tynan's and we met Liam, the manager. He was a hilarious storyteller and full of BS. We also met some nice guys from Dublin that were on a staycation, and there were lots of stories exchanged with them. Janet also arm wrestled one of them. Of course, they loved her!!
Janet and I finished the evening with dinner at Zun, a place that was highly recommended! We had a cheese plate to share (kind of a tradition for us), red wine and duck for me and tuna for Janet. We finished the evening with a Bailey's nightcap at The Blue Bar across the street from The Butler House. Fabulous day in Kilkenny!Click here for more photos from Day Seven in Ireland.
PS - Should I get back to Ireland again, I would definitely stay 2 days in Kilkenny. The city has a good vibe, some great history, and fun people!
