Cobh

Cobh is about a 30 minute train ride from Cork. It is also home to the titanic museum, since it was the last place the titanic docked before it sank out in the atlantic. Kind of eerie when you get there because they have everything set up like it was back when the boat was docked out in the port. After checking out the sites near the dock at Cobh, we wandered around the city and weaved in and out of all the old buildings and shops.

We walked up the huge hill that takes you to the top of the city and there we found Colman's Cathedral. (Yes Alan, it was colman without an "e" in it) This is a huge catholic church that looks over the entire town and is still used today for masses, weddings and things of that nature. After looking inside the church and wandering through the many rooms we decided to go back down to the main town and get back to Cork.


When we got back to Cork, we did a bit of shopping and then grabbed some dinner at a pub. We went across the street to Old Oak and listened to some live music and watched some great rugby matches on the big screen there. The rugby world cup is going on at the moment, so everyone here watches it. It is so much fun. I love me some rugby. Too bad Ireland got eliminated early on. So sad.
