On our way by train to Southampton after being rescued by a friendly Aussie couple. They got us to Chichester after bad advice from a ticket agent. All is well except for the usual jet lag.

Southampton is familiar to Americans as a cruise port, its association with the Titanic and as a 10th century walled city . More personally, my dad shipped out from NYC 1918 to serve in the infantryLæs mere

Fabulous pictures. Glad you are enjoying the local spirits (in both senses). Interesting to see the historic marker about Frederick Douglass. Did you buy a Waterford crystal piece as a souvenir? Waterford , the town, looks so picturesque.
RejsendeWe didn't purchase crystal or visit the factory based on advice from others. Traveling light has its advantages but not much room for fragile pieces to bring home.

Cork, Ireland
1. august, Irland ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
Never made it to Cork but took a trip into the countryside to tour a few castles. The drive was long but worth the views and a taste of Irish food for lunch.
Judy LyterVery atmospheric. These look like perfect settings for Irish historical novels or movies. Rain??
RejsendeMy family is from Cork. Quite a bit of tech now in Cork. My son has partners in Cork.

Although Ed Sheeran is from England, he was a busker on the streets of Galway. Lots of street musicians are entertaining in the center of Galway today.
Judy LyterWhat a great day. Your photos are wonderful. The one of the old door and window is especially intriguing. I heard a lot about Galway from a student who lived there until she was nine. They are Americans, but both parents were actors based in Ireland (i e. Saving Private Ryan). The parents held on to some of their land so that the 3 daughters could always have a home there if they wished. I don't think any of them moved there.

Judy LyterThat's a true shame. I would guess you were really looking forward to Dublin. Bummer! Belfast in Northern Ireland should be interesting. It sounds as if that will work out. I hope you can do another trip to Dublin, etc , in the future.

Judy LyterGlad you are there safe and sound, if weary. I also had the experience of getting on a wrong train in London, trying to head to Hampton Court Palace. Luckily, those goofs are easy to fix by hopping off. The right train usually comes along pretty soon. You have spent time in Southampton before. Are you finding new things to do or visiting old favorites? I looked up Chichester -- historic and posh, with some of the most unaffordable housing in England!
RejsendeWe visited old favorites since time was short and we were jet lagged. Nap for 2 hours and slept very soundly that night feeling fine now!
