Our first stop- Cork

DAY 3  Thurs. - Sept. 18th 

Today we docked in Cork, also called Ringaskiddy, Ireland and it's rainy and foggy and we are loving it.  We got up and had a lovely breakfast and then decided to get a ticket to go into the town of Cork, via a coach (also known as a bus). We walked around and looked at all the little shops for a bit, then headed back to the coach. We got back to the ship and ate a little lunch and then went to meet up with our next tour called, 'Easy Cork, Scenic drive, Irish coffee'. After walking all morning, LaVerl was good with a bus ride. We had a 45 minute drive through the countryside, seeing the sites and with our tour guide informing us of all the different things to see. We went to an old sheep station that has been converted into a wonderful shopping center. LaVerl bought a nice little English hat and he bought me a pretty necklace with a little pearl and we bought some chocolates to take home to friends and family. 

We didn't meet up with any of our traveling buddies until dinner at 7:30! It was a wonderful day of site seeing and enjoying the Irish culture.
