    We are nearing the end of our "magical mystery tour" of Ireland and to date have enjoyed the experience, scenery and accommodation. The guide and driver have been exceptional. The two disappointments have been the famine village which was poorly displayed and the guide was boring. Tonight's accommodation in Blarney is awful as the party is not scheduled to finish until 12.30 am. The 2 guests from our group who could not be accommodated here have had a blessing in disguise as we cannot be moved to somewhere quieter to get a decent sleep. Our room is just above the DJ and the strobe lights cannot be blocked out by the curtains. Such a pity to finish our experience in this way, after all, this venue had been booked a year in advance.
