The sea was very rough in the night. But at 10 am we entered the bay and soon docked in the port of Cobh where thousands of Irish emingants once boarded the ships going to America. Then suburban train took me for 10 euro RT to much bigger city of Cork. Cork is the second largest town in Irish Republic. From the Cork Kent station I was walking to the Catholic Cathedral of St Mary and Anna – beautiful interior there! Then I walked in the rain down to the river enjoying the views of many cozy, narrow streets. In the centre which is located on the other side of the river there are many pedestrian zones with colorful pubs and shops. More gray churches in this part of the city, fountain in the Parade and… closed tourist office. Shame – they are closed on Sunday. So I returned to the station just to recognize that abord the train they offer free internet! That’s why I am able to send this message… Long live Irish Rail! 🙂
