Cobh, formerly Queenstown, is the port city for Cork and was the last stop of the Titanic on her maiden voyage. While in Cobh we visited the cathedral, which stands high on a hill above the town, and the Titanic Museum.
After seeing a bit of the center of Cork we moved on to Blarney Castle where Jim and Francie passed on tourist adventure of kissing the Blarney Stone as not worth the climb to the top of the Castle. Instead we toured the wonderful forested gardens.
Then off to Killarney through the cloudy Derrynasaggart Mountains.
