To Cork We Go

Today we are in Ireland. We visited this port in May so we weren’t sure if we would leave the ship. It was raining and quite dreary but we decided to go to Cork by train.

Of course, our first stop was a little cafe at the port of Cobh. Scones and cappuccino. Yummy!

The train station was right next to the port and it was 3.50 euros each way.

It was about a 30-minute train ride to Cork with lots of scenery on the way.

We didn’t stay in Cork long – just long enough to take some photos and say we went there. It was drizzling so not so much fun to walk in the rain.

There are a lot of colored buildings in Ireland. Our tour guide in England said that the colored buildings where we were, were painted different colors so when someone was drunk, they could say, “Take me home to the red house.”

Our view from our balcony was quite lovely today.

It was a fine Irish day. Now a couple of sea days than Reykjavik.

In 2015, I retired and my goal was to do as much traveling as I possibly could. I started the blog for our first month long trip to Panama in October 2015. My sister Linda and her husband Stan joined Bruce and I on our first trip and we decided together on the name the four amigos. Since then, we don’t always travel with them, sometimes just Bruce and I, sometimes other people, whoever wants to join us on our crazy journeys. The name stuck and I grew an affinity to it. So here we are. I invite you to join thefouramigos blog on our next destination.
