Ireland: Day Four

After a filling breakfast at Glenorma House, our sweet hostess, Mary, drove us to the bus station in Ennis. We then caught a bus to Cork. While it was rather a long trip, we were able to get in a few naps on the bus. Upon arriving in Cork, we took a cab to our 5 star hotel, Hayfield Manor. Amazing! After dropping of our luggage and taking in our beautiful room, we hit the streets of Cork and and did a lot of walking around.

The English Market was a great treat! Too bad we didn't have our own kitchenette to cook our own meals. I would have gone crazy in there!

For lunch we found Cavanaugh's pub. Not many people in there on a Monday afternoon and while the food was nothing to write home about, we do think the owner may have been part of the Irish mob. Sort of kidding, but he did have a couple of "meetings" while we were in there.

We found a great souvenir shop - spent some good money and swapped stories with the owner, Michael. Per his recommendation, we grabbed a glass of wine (nice little treat after all my Guinness) at Amicus and then dinner at Soho. I had the most amazing duck wraps at Soho - still salivating over them!
On our way back to the hotel, Janet and I grabbed this photo opp to show the small doorways we encountered on this trip.

We then finished the evening at the hotel bar where I polished off some hot chocolate and Bailey's along with some chips (aka french fries). I was feeling very spoiled as I faded off to sleep on such a comfy bed in our nice hotel room.
