In the afternoon we visit King John's Castle...

The King John castle
This castle is the oldest building in Ireland, and the most beautiful, in our opinion. We went to visit it on Wednesday the first and it was very cold. Fortunately, we didn’t spend the whole visit outside, but it worth to see the castle. First, we passed through a little museum, where we saw some videos and exhibits that explained all about the history of the battles of the castle.
We had a great time there taking photos and seeing the towers and the archaeological excavations of it.
Another thing that you enjoy is the view, in which you can see the River Shannon and the principal buildings of the City of Limerick. There are lots of points in the castle that are useful to take pictures of the view: roof, balconies and windows, and many more.

Later, that same afternoon...
We went to the Thomond Park, more commonly known as Munster Stadium. It is the place where the rugby team (Munster) trains and plays home matches.

We did a tour of the museum, which consisted of an hour and a half. It contained fotos of the best moments in Munster history and some significant games. Afterwards, we entered to the pitch which was really big and amazing and we took some funny photos.
