Cobh/Cork, Ireland

Day 13

We walk thru Cobh, a pretty little coastal town, famous for being the last port that the Titanic sailed from. Very colorful town, quiet, large church. Meet Snubby the cat and Stubby the dog on our walk. Gina and Shellie go to confession. Dad can't get into pub due to it being packed with Futbol fans cheering on a game, very loudy! We catch a taxi to nearby Cork for shopping. Back on boat we watch Irish dancing from local dancers. Then head out to hear brass band on dock. Seems the town has come out to see the ship and send it off. People all over, waving, cheering. Absolutely amazing! Must have been what the passengers on Titanic saw. ;)

Did I say we love Ireland? Yes, we do!

And another beautiful day here. We skip entertainment that night for the Solarium pool again, which we have all to ourselves. Dad gets 2nd place in pool tourney. Gets medal.

Our rating: Kevin9 Gina 8.5
