Cork, Ireland...

Wednesday, October 2. Gray sky, cool. 11 C.

We are at the Port of Cork, arriving here at 7:00 am. We were here just 16 months ago with Jim and Gail. This was the last port in Europe before starting our journey to the Azores and home. Unfortunately I woke up with an upset tummy this morning. So, we cancelled the bus tour and took the day off. It is rather a strange feeling to be on a ship when most people are ashore. Strangely quiet. So, we took a Sea Day, in port.

   We received our luggage tags and all the information about the flight home on Friday afternoon. That means that the next thing is to pack up all our stuff and get it out after bedtime tomorrow. 

   This cruise seems to be over almost as soon as it started, however it proved its purpose, I have doubts that we will be back in this neck of the woods in this lifetime.

Lazy Day.

The 'Port' of Cork is different than the city of Cork, above and a 'proper' city. 

A bit chilly out and about

Sun Beds optimistically with fresh sheets on them.

The coaches for morning tours just by the gangway and the Railroad Station right behind them. Very compact.

This was the last piece of land that The Titanic saw as it sailed off from here and sunk shortly after.

We ate at This Restaurant last night. Canadian Lobster for the main course. [Could he be the reason for my Rumbly Tummy?]

Dinner.

Baggage tags and info for Friday.
