Cork or Cobh

Continued along the coast road to Cork via Waterford and visited the Cobh Heritage Centre on the old quay where families would have emigrated to  the US or Australia to escape the famines.

The Titanic stopped here on its one and only voyage. An occasional cruise boat visits now but has moor in the harbour.

We stopped overnight at Jasmine Valley campsite where we heard about the experiences of a New Zealander in his 70's who came back to trace his roots and had a very frosty reception! It was sunny and warm and we had another barbeque.
