Arriving in Kinsale


After much driving and a brief tour through Cork, we arrived in Kinsale. What a lovely, peaceful little town. Nestled around a harbour full of picturesque boats the town hosts a number of promising restaurants, quaint shops and scenic views. We checked into out guesthouse which despite being quite close to the harbour and main road promised to be much more peaceful than the previous evening. We got some recommendations for restaurants then made our way into town (everything in Kinsale, our host told us, is about 5 minutes walk from everything else). We examined our options for dinner and settled on the highly praised Fishy Fishy Cafe. We had an excellent meal there (oysters and champagne to start, A spicy seafood salad for me and brown bread and smoked salmon for Ian followed by sticky toffee pudding and rhubarb and custard) and were practically falling asleep while they tallied up our bill. A brief walk back to the guesthouse, a few presents to open then some much needed sleep.
