Visit to Cork



Yet another trip planned near the water cooler at work. Right next to it sits Shane Khellar who is the most approachable person ever. He is from Co Cork and he agreed to give me a ride to his native place. There , the destination is fixed, but what will I do there beacuse he was leaving in another 4 hours. To my rescue came a very nice friend of mine.Noreen helped me out in telling me places to vist and printing out bus schedules and booking a BnB for me.Absolutely fantastic she is, because she is from Cork. Started out the 260kms journey by 7pm got to the accomodation. As per instructions, I did go to Kinsale first.A small fishing village where i walked around quite a bit and visited Fort Charles. That small town defines the phrase ' Cute little town'. Headed back to Cork and from there went to Fota. Its' an amzing wild life park where some animals roam out in the open.
I went to the Shannon church, and i dont know if i can prefix the word Cool with Church, if yes, then it was one. They allowed Visitors to ring the bells. The following day headed out to Blarney castle. I kissed the stone of Elequoence, which i beleive improve 'did the my english much very'. Though it was drizziling it was the best that could happen beacuse the gardens there came alive with such lush green splendor. Beleive me or not, I once reached the exit gate and I changed my mind and went back in to the gardens.Its the Rock Close garden, absolutely impressive. Finaly headed back to Cork and hooked up with Shane and Ean, headed back to my home away from home. Honestly folks I had undermined Cork before I got there;now withdrawn.
