Nice friendly local pub.

 We had seven minutes of rain.

 Who is having fun now?
Even with bad hair, must be the wee Irish fog


Our train back to Cobh (Cove) from Cork

Cobh formerly Queenstown had a reenactment on display of what life would have been like on the pier when Titanic arrived at its last port of call before setting sail across the Atlantic Ocean to New York. 
 My baggage is ready to be loaded.

 The Methodists arrived in Cobh in the 19th century and set up a small church(to the left of St. Coleman's Cathedral) to try and sway the Irish from tipping the ale as much as they did back then. Today that small Methodist Church is Pillars Pub.
 St. Coleman's Cathedral

 Cruising away from Cobh

Last lighthouse before the Celtic Sea leaving Cobh.
