Years ago, on our ventures in Ireland we stayed and toured parts of Kilkenny. I remember it raining, cold and not much else. Thank you for all we missed.🇨🇦❤️

Lol that's Ireland. I'd say they should plan less next time. Just ask the locals for the best places to visit. Do it Irish style, more casual

Great couple, 'good craic' as we say. 😁 Enjoy your travels. 👍

You guys are a great couple. Glad you are having so much fun in Ireland 🇮🇪

Thank you! 😃

I watched your video before going to Ireland this year. I did my own tour of Kilkenny while my tour group went to Waterford. It was 👍 awesome! I really enjoyed the Rothe Museum, St. Candice's Cathedral, and the Castle. I got lost on my way back to the hotel, but stopped at an Aldi's, and a girl gave me directions. I made it back safely. I loved Kilkenny! ❤️ Thanks for your video.

Kilkenny is BEAUTIFUL, a really special place!

Cool! Smithwicks has been my favourite go to Irish Red for many years. I have also enjoyed the odd Kilkenny cream ale, all from the comfort of my home here in Ontario. I guess I'm going to have to visit Kilkenny now.

I LOVE Kilkenny Cream Ale, but learned that IN Ireland, it's not very common. It's an export beer for them.

Don't forget the Sullivan's tap room next time

I loved this, the two of you are such a perfect fit! You missed St Kieran's college, but the rest of it was great!

It's a lovely city... we went there 3 times already!

You missed the shortcut into the beautiful Butler House garden. There’s a doorway in the wall just behind the design centre that leads you directly into them. It would’ve saved you a bit of walking.

Oh darn... those old cities are full of surprises that we miss often.

I really appreciate the research you guys put into your videos. The last time I was in Kilkenny was to see Bob Dylan and Neil Young play Nowlan Park in 2019. I hope there's a few more Ireland videos to come before you move on to your next location.

Thank you! Oddly as we read this comment, Neil Young was playing on our Alexa! :D We are a bit ahead of ourselves in real life and have about 4 more Ireland videos to edit and put out. However, we will be doing a "We moved to ____" this week because we're also doing a "Thanksgiving in ____" video and thought it'd be weird to not have the "We Moved to ____" video first. Was that TMI?! :D

In the late 70's the Castle was so under appreciated, there were plans to build a dog-food factory on the lawn! PS, if you get a chance, look up "half hanging". Mac

Off for a couple of days, really enjoying your work. You should check out Dunmore caves(if they are open), when you back this way, I live close to Kk, keep up the great work 👍👍👍

Thanks for the nice words. We missed the caves, but perhaps some day.

WOW that's a lot to get done in one day. You guys did a personal version of Amazing Race getting to some amazing spots.

Life expectancies are a bit confusing in relation to medieval times.The low life expectancy is mostly because of child mortality whereas if you didn't die before your teens there was a good chance that you would live past 35.

What do you think of Ireland weather having less sunshine hours ?

Our three months in Kinsale were actually quite nice to us... however, we had heard that it isn't always that nice. :D
