We left Istanbul and traveled through Frankfurt Germany to Dublin, Ireland. We boarded a bus and promptly proceeded to lunch and then to an Irish Stud farm before going to our hotel in Cork.
Just to give you a little history on Cork it is the second largest city in the Republic of Ireland as well as being the island of Ireland’s third most populous city. The current population in Cork is about 120 thousand people. Cork has been nicknamed the “Rebel County” and people who are natives of Cork will commonly refer to it as the “real capital of Ireland and call themselves the “rebels”.
Cork is situated along the River Lee that divides into two channels at the western end of the city.
There are many attractions around Cork to see one of the most popular is the college which was right by our hotel. I went off and toured the beautiful town and University. I found the people of Cork to be very friendly and helpful. I also found it very easy and safe to walk around town. It was very easy to get to various restaurants, pubs, and places of interest.
