Ireland Day Two and a half



Great sleep, fab breakfast including of course black and white pudding.
off to catch the cork tourist bus, interstingly cork used to be the venice of the UK. You can still see the steps agoing up to the assembly rooms and the where the boats - gondolas were tied.

walked to the opera house and the art gallery beside it, and met Carrie and her husband Owen for a relaxing coffee. Crazy to think Carrie (from Tremough, Cornwall) was in Cork at the same time i was so very cool seeing each other again.
AFter that I mooched aorund some more and headed off to a genuine irish pub for a shandy before catching the airport bus with plenty of time to spare just in case!!
Flight fine,
standsted express fine
tube fine
bus to caths fine
walked to her house fine
arrived about 10.00 ish and was able to meet Nova's folks George and Carol briefly before heading upstairs to repack for Helsinki. Phew!!
