We left Killarney today and headed to Dublin. Judy drives, Roger navigates and Marilou and I are just “riders.” Glad we were able to get all our luggage in the “hire” car!
We stopped in Macroom for coffee and pastries and then drove to Cork. We took a break and toured the old Jameson Brewery. It was really interesting to learn how they make Irish whiskey and now I know what “white lightening” is!
We had lunch in a little coastal fishing village, Ballycotton. We were surprised by the wonderful café and great food. We later found out, from Ulick, that “bally” means town. We talked with some fishermen on the pier and saw their catch of the day – mackerel – they are almost iridescent in their stripes.
Driving in Dublin traffic and finding our hotel was most challenging – our GPS did just “so-so” in the city. But, Judy never gets flustered! Believe it or not, Roger finally called and asked for directions!!!
A long day so we ate at the bar in the hotel and headed for bed!
