Travel to Ireland, County Cork, Kinsale.


I seemed to have picked up Lindsay’s cold bugs and as the day wore on, mine got steadily worse. Add to that the gloomy weather, it didn’t make for a pleasant day.

The weather wasn’t looking promising but we headed off for Kinsale and Cork on the coast for the day anyway. We took the ring road around Cork and headed off to Kinsale where it was already raining. We remember Kinsale from years ago in the 70’s when we went there with the Tindalls. It is a really pretty seaside resort. Today it was less than inspiring. The tide was out, there were cars and people everywhere and it was raining. We did get to walk some of the town and had a really good seafood chowder at a Pub. We wondered what the crowd was along the foreshore further on where there was a helicopter hovering. It appeared that a sailing ship with a crew of young people had foundered on the rocks and sunk and they all had to be rescued.
