September 18th – And now we’re in CORK!!

Bigger city of about 125,000. Arrived here about 11:30 in the beautiful sunshine! Took a cab to our new digs – interesting little row house with lots of character. Two storey, slanted roof with a tiny little back garden. Very comfortable and cute. Not scoring high on the easy accessibility to the city centre as it is a 30 minute walk up a very steep hill but we can live with that! Dropped off our luggage and then headed downtown to the Old English Market. Bought some great looking fresh food and meat for our dinner, visited a couple of tour sites and headed back to our room, straight uphill with our backpacks laden with goodies!!! Yowser, it was a walk!

Our oven would not work so the host of the airbnb came over to grab our chicken for us and cook it! They live next door. 😍. So dinner soon, and then maybe an early night. We’re off on a tour to a harbour town tomorrow called Cobh!

Lloyd and I spoke to our nephew, Cody, tonight in Dublin. He is going to College there and we will be seeing him while we are in Dublin on the weekend. Looking forward to that for sure!

No pictures today – I haven’t downloaded them yet!! Eldon’s back seems to be fine today despite his dancing bout last night!

Xxoo Lloyd and Karen

Lloyd and I are not “world travellers” but we are about to embark on an adventurous trip to Ireland with our good friends, Eldon and Kathy (who, by the way) are world travellers. We have been planning the details of this trip for over one year and it is now right around the corner. Trying to keep our packing to a minimum as we are lugging our stuff around on public transportation- a challenge for me - minimal packing I mean!! Second challenge - getting on that plane - as many of you know - I don’t love flying but fortunately Lloyd lets me dig my fingers into his arm as long as I need to! This is a fairly long flight - he may regret his generosity!! So.... we are off around the Isle on September 9th for 16 days!! I hope you all enjoy following our travels with us. It is my hope to post each day with a picture or two added. Take a trip with us!!!
