Back to Ireland

May 18
Up and out to Liverpool airport by taxi - then off to Cork - rented a car and drove to Kinsale, a beautiful seaside village in the south of Ireland. (TheTitanic left Kinsale in 1912 on it's last leg of that fateful journey, and the Lusitania was sunk by a German submarine just off the coast.).

Kinsale is a small, picturesque village - with NARROW streets. (The cars on the right are parked!)

We stayed with friends who have a B&B - with a beautiful view of the village.

 The harbor is stunning - depending on the tide, and the yellow house in the foreground is (or was) owned by Sting - and there's a recording studio in the lower level.) The roof on the right covers a home built about 1600.

The Village Town Hall and garden is in the foreground, and the B&B is the yellow house behind and to the left.
