Day 8–10
Cork
March 12 in Ireland ⋅ 🌬 14 °C
Cork. Der erste richtige Stop in Irland und wir würden gleich mit dem typischen irischen Wetter begrüßt: Nieselregen, Wind und 10 Grad. So ein Wetter ist natürlich ideal um sämtliche Indooraktivitäten machen zu können. Unser erster Stop war der English Market, eine große Lebensmittelhalle, die durch ihre Gerüche und Eindrücke vor allem Emilia beeindruckte. Tizian wollte anschließend in ein Museum, denn was sollte man sonst bei Regen machen? Doch leider informierten wir uns nicht auf der offiziellen Seite des Museums und standen dann im strömenden Regen vor verschlossenen Toren, nachdem wir knapp 30 Minuten zu Fuß gelaufen waren. War mal wieder typisch für uns. Trotzdem ließen wir uns nicht aufhalten und besuchten die Uni von Cork und ein kleines Museum, welches die Geschichte Irlands aufgearbeitet hatte.
Trotz dem Regens hat Irland seinen ganz eigenen Charme.Read more

Day 6
English Market, Cork
May 15, 2023 in Ireland ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
The day started with a visit to Cork. With so much to see we decided to just visit the aptly named English Market. Not really sure why it's called this but it's been in existence since 1788 and it's a really great example of a covered market.Read more

Day 13
Cork
July 31, 2022 in Ireland ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C
Am Samstag Abend ging es für uns noch von Kinsale aus weiter nach Cork. Dort machten wir uns noch einen gemütlichen Abend im Pub.
Den Sonntag verbrachten wir dann mit einem Einkaufsbummel und kleinem Live-Konzert in der Stadt. Hierzu benutzten wir das erste Mal unsere Fahrräder - und wahrscheinlich auch das letzte Mal!Read more

Killarney to Cork
May 15, 2019 in Ireland ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C
Up and about early after an amazing breakfast on our way to Ross Castle, Killarney what a sight , it was an amazing drive the countryside is just amazing, We went down through Bantry and tried to find Russagh Crater but to no avail , oh well on to Drombeg Stone Circle, which we found and they were amazing, you got such a feeling from this place and just to place your hands on these is a honour and privlage. Then on to Cork for the night, wandered around Cork , didnt quite get the feeling that we had in other places, we still had a fun night at a local pub with Trad music.Read more

The English Market
April 12, 2022 in Ireland ⋅ 🌧 13 °C
The English Market is one of the highlights of Cork center - perfect place to get a snack, try some local smoked fish and get a souvenir. We also found that the Irish like to play it safe and power up their disinfectant with some divine help ;)Read more

Day 2
The Onion Sellers & Mutton Lane
April 12, 2022 in Ireland ⋅ 🌧 12 °C
Walking around Cork, we noticed two identical statues of an old lady holding onions (later we found out there were more), which intrigued me. As it turns out, the 'Onion Sellers' are inspired by merchants who'd try to sell onions and the entrance of the English Market in the early 1900's. However, they kept being driven away by the police, so they'd run down Corn Street, the only place they were safe. In the 1911 census, apparently there were quite a few of these merchants who were only registered as 'onions'.

After having an early dinner at Amicus on Gallagher Place (I recommend trying the fish cakes), we went to find Mutton Lane, a very narrow side alley with a colorful mural along most of it's length and, as it turned out, a lively pub.

But no time for a local beer. By then, it was time to hurry back, get our luggage and catch our train to our next destination.Read more

Day 7
O’Flynn - Cork
August 17, 2015 in Ireland ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
Locale piccolo ma molto carino, servono panini fatti al momento dove puoi scegliere tutto quello da mettere dentro, e ci sono tavolini al piano superiore o fuori dal locale dove ci si può fermare. Il cibo è molto buono e l’arredo veramente particolare, pieno di vecchie foto sia alle pareti sia come base dei tavolini.Read more

Day 8
Ein Tag Pause in Cork
July 31, 2020 in Ireland ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
Heute einen ruhigen Tag eingelegt. Morgens in die Stadt gefahren und dort zusammen mit Pat einen Kaffee bzw Tee getrunken. Die Innenstadt selbst ist teilweise deprimierend. Viele Geschäfte dauerhaft geschlossen, an anderen Stellen wegen Corona-Einlassbeschraenkungen Schlangen vor den Geschäften.Read more
