So today was the day that I never saw coming, and I was very upset. Today was the day that we had to leaver Dublin behind and move on to other places. The other place in mind was going to Cobh. We left really early in the morning because we had a lot of touring that needed to be done so we had to get a move on. Everyone looked kind of upset that we were leaving Dublin so soon, but it had already been a week since we’ve been there and time had just flown by so fast.
The mode of transportation that we were taking was bus, and boy was it a fun bus ride. About an hour into the trip we made a stop some old ruins that were centuries old and were so cool. The only real things that were left at the site were a lot of graves and I mean a lot, some churches that were falling apart and a house that the head priest used to live it. The one thing that was really cool was the tower that was in the middle of everything. It was about 150 feet tall (so says the tour guide) and was made of huge stone blocks. The tour guide said there wasn’t many left in Ireland so it was cool to actually see one of them up close. After the ruins we went to this really nice hotel were we got to eat some really great food.
The food was good but we got back on the bus and there was really only one thing on everyone’s mind, getting some much needed sleep. I mean come on, we had a three hour drive ahead of us so what else are we going to do.
We finally arrived at the beautiful Bella Vista suites and I must say it’s a pretty sweet place. Nice rooms, comfy beds, hot water all the time, overall its better then the last place we stay at. It wasn’t long until we had to go back out again to walk around the city and explore. Turns out Cobh is a beautiful and quiet little place. We took a tour of downtown and learned a lot about the Titanic because this was the place that it set sail before it sunk on its way to American. Got a lot of good pictures so im happy about that. After the tour we came back and had some really good Chinese at the hotel, and to tell you the truth I didn’t expect to be that good. Now its time to relax and get some sleep, tomorrows going to be a busy day
Going to the Blarney Stone, not going to kiss it thought, I know what the locals do to it. Instead im just going to watch everyone else do it. I may have a laugh or two.
Until tomorrow….Cheers
P.S. in a sad note Ronnie James Dio past away today..may his soul rest in peace
