Dear diary. I’m back again after one week. Many things have happened in the past few days, so let me tell you about them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last Tuesday we left Kilkenny. The weather was a little windy again, but not too cold. We stopped at the Rock of Cashel. It used to be a castle, then a cathedral, but now it’s a ruin. It was quite interesting to explore, but I got bored after some time as I had already seen enough ruins. Hopefully we will visit sth. else during our next stop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a thing that looked like a well, but it was not a wishing well as it was filled up. I still made the wish to visit other things than old ruins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Our next big stop was in Cork. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We visited an old fort. It was a …. ruin, but at least there were more interesting things to see than old stones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Statues…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

… guns …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

…walls…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

… cut off heads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But Wondy liked the city more. We went shopping and stopped at the English market. After that we ate a burger in a pub. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The next day we went to visit an old house – luckily not a ruin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Muckross House and gardens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The house was impressive – outside and inside, but you are not allowed to touch anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They didn’t say that you are not allowed to slip down the handrails, though. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We enjoyed the gardens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The weather got rainier later, so our stop by the Tork Waterfall was quite short. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

On our last day in Cork we visited two museums – no ruins, yeahhh!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The old Cork Waterworks Museum. A nice place to explore, full of old engines. People saw us playing around. It’s not really allowed, but we said it was for instagram and that was OK then. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After that we went to the Old City Gaol – I liked that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

That’s me in a cell – I liked it, but I was happy to get out again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

On Saturday morning we just had a little walk across the campus of Cork University…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

… and then left for Limerick. It is a little busy town. We didn’t spend much time there. We were impressed by the mighty river Shannon ….<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

… King John’s Castle …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

… and street art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You know how much I’m interested in art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the evening we arrived in Galway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today the weather was quite fine, so we walked around Galway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We visited the Latin Quarter, the Spanish Arch and other places. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Wondy was attracted to Guinness again – I’m a little afraid she might get addicted to beer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Now, in the evening, I ate some pizza and took time to write about my adventures of the past week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wait for my new adventures tomorrow and in the following days. I will write again as soon as I have time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
