Kiss your partner in all 32 counties!

Roltzefly · 20-10-2008 11:54pm #1

Hey guys!

I was thinking how romantic and cheesy it'd be to kiss your partner in all 32 counties in Ireland. AND, get a photo of each kiss, infront of some historical monument or such (eg, NewGrange or the Giants Causway). then you put each photo in a photo album or note book and write personal messages of the place and things...

So.. here's the idea, name some counties and some suggestive places in the county to visit!!

to get us started!

Dublin – Dun Laoghaire Pier!
Wicklow – glen da lough
Wexford – round tower
Carlow - Dolmen
Kilkenny - Castle
Cork – Blarney Castle
Tipperary – Rock of cashel
Tyrone - Beaghmore Stone Circles
Derry – Dolmen
Antrim – Giants Causway, McDonnell Castle.

Cheers Mike.

My post #5 has been updated with the extra sugegstions.

Counties in bold are so far the most unromantic places in Ireland.

Athlone Castle isn't actually in Westmeath AFAIK because its over the river.

Offaly - IPC in clonbullogue, kiss during a skydive, now that would be memorable.

Or you could use the landmarks from 'Treasure Ireland' on winning streak, sure you can't go wrong there. According to that you should be kissing on Wexford bridge, thats our best landmark apparently
