Today we set off to Cobh (cove) to see the last port of the titanic. Only 30 ks from the cottage we got there quickly and we thrilled to see a charming little seaside village. Colourful and vibrant it was quite busy. Gwen and Pauline set off for snaps along the shore - Annie and Carolyn did the Titanic tour. Quite a fun experience where you get a copy of an actual ticket to the titanic and get to take on the persona of an actual passenger. We saw state rooms and cabins got to sit in a replica lifeboat and learn quite a lot about the ship. At the end you find out if you were saved or lost at sea. Annie (Nora Healy 29) was saved. Carolyn (Katie Parker 21) was lost. :-).
Spike island is also here - and that is where the Irish convicts left from for our sunny shores!
We dined at a cute little place and enjoyed the morning
In the afternoon, (at Dorothy's suggestion) we went to Kinsale. A very very wealthy port where we there were many boats and yachts moored - there were lots of American tourists and it is sister citied with Rhode Island - and we can see why!
