Day 9 Kinsale

Awwww, a fresh brewed cuppa. A great way to start a cloudy day.
Kinsale started with Don & Barry's Kinsale Historic Stroll. The town is so colorful with very narrow streets.
On to the star-shaped Charles Fort. One of the first things we learned from the guide, you'll see in the photo...Every Journey Begins In Footsteps. It certainly does. Built in the 17th century, the British occupied it until Irish independence in 1922.
And then we HAD to have the all famous Shirley's Fish and Chips. Her brother is the fisherman, and today the catch was Hake fish... Deeelicious!
The drive to Kenmare was so delightful for we could finally take in the green, green countryside dotted with sheep. This is how I pictured Ireland; away from the big cities.
It took us about 2 hours to get into our B&B tonight. Thank goodness for a lovely lady, her daughter, and dog who were passing by and saved us. These Irish folk are wonderful!Read more
