“The bus got is to Blarney Castle. Although there was a bit of a language barrier. Our driver talked fast, so with his Irish accent, it was difficult for these old American ears to catch everything that was said. There was also an issue with his microphone cutting in and out. The driver was told we couldn't hear him but he gruffly told us he was using the mic. It was basically a bus ride.”
