We left friendly Kinsale for Cobh and drove lovely country roads to catch historic ‘Passage West’ ferry to Cobh. The Cobh Heritage Center has really interesting exhibits on the famine, Lusitania, and the Titanic. Cobh is noted for being the last port of call for the Titanic and the largest port for those immigrating to America.
Next stop of the day was the Jameson Experience in Middleton for a tour. Mary ‘volunteers’ to do a comparison whiskey tasting and finishes top of her class. Later, we stopped for a quick tour of the ‘Rock of Cashel’ – most of the structures on site date back to the 12th & 13th centuries.
Our B&B in Kilkenny is the well-named ‘Bridge View’ on the bank of the River Nore. It’s a Saturday evening and the town is wild. Dinner is pizza (the first since leaving the US).
