Around Cork

It's my first trip out of Dublin and it happens because someones sister lives near Cork :) At first about three hours by car and here we are, in a nice house in the middle of the fields in a place called Crosshaven. And we are going to stay here for three days.

Charles Fort, Kinsale

The first place we visit is a small town Kinsale which has a a fort which is called the Charles Fort, a historical port and a lot of nice colourful picturesque houses. It is located about 25 km-s south of Cork and sits at the mouth of the river Bandon with only a bit more than 2000 people. But I believe that in summer time they have lots of tourists wandering around and enjoying the atmosphere of the town.



They have a big yacht port as well and a nice promenade to walk and enjoy the yachts beside you.

A collection of my favourite houses.

And the tiny Hat Shop with lots of beauties :)

And a tiny Chocolate Shop with handmade chocolate, yummie ...

And something that reminded me Haapsalu, unfortunately we didn't see the Hotel itself

And some good advice here and there, why not :)

On our way back we stopped and counted the Irish cows and enjoyed the landscape. I still don't know how many cows were there, but quite a lot.
