A castle smack dab in the middle of the city, a very short walk from the guest house.We had a skilled tour guide who gave a lot of detail on things, and actually asked questions of the tour group to make sure that we remembered facts she'd told us in the previous room, or to try to get us to pay attention to some details.
For instance, when she asked us which one of four book shelves in a room was original, the answer was the one with the slightly warped glass. Apparently, they didn't make glass as well when they originally made those bookshelves as they do now.
No photos were allowed inside, although I got some pictures outside the castle.
Lunch at Café Sol
We had a great lunch at a place called Café Sol (link).
Kristin had a vegetable panini (€9), I had a cajun panini (€9), and we shared garlic potatoes (€2.50). The food was excellent, the atmosphere was comfortable, and we enjoyed ourselves quite a bit!
Dinner at Lombardi's
After shopping for a bit, we strolled for quite some time before settling on a restaurant for dinner. We ate at a place called Lombardi's, which was quite elegant.
Kristin ate pizza margherita (€9.95).
I had spaghetti bolognese (€12.95). For a beverage I had a Peroni (Nastro Azzurro) Birra Superior (est. 1846).
Kyteler's Inn
We returned to Kyteler's Inn for another evening of music. On this night we saw a band called Uisce Beatha (link) who were great! Several Guinness enhanced the experience.
