The story behind the stone fasinates me and I’ve always wanted to visit Ireland, so I figured I could kill two birds with one stone. I like how so many people believe and i want to accomplish it.

How to kiss the blarney stone
It made me
happy
 "touristy, cheesy, hard work!, worth it to buy touristy gifts for back home"
How I did it: Its probably the most touristy thing you can do in Ireland, the climb is a very steep narrow spiral staircase which makes you abit breathless, then you get to the top a huge castle with an amazing view, and have to lean off the edge in the arms of a irishman - it was definately worth doing but didnt tell any of my irish friends i had lol |

How I did it: I went on a tour of Great Britian with a school group and it was one of the many stops on the way to Dublin. Since I went through a tour group, admission was included in the package and the bus went straight there. It kinda just fell into my lap, I didn't plan it. Read how I did it…

I lie only to warn folks that it’s a popular pastime of Irish Hooligans to piss on the stone in the evenings. If you must, you must, but every irishman will laugh at you and you really should wash your face after…

Yeah, all you’re doing is hanging upside down kissing some slimy stone , but it’s quite an interesting experience and the castle is gorgeous.

I’ve heard that this is very touristy and kinda expensive, but I still want to do it. I think I would be terrified, and that’s mainly why I want to do it. To prove that I could…
