Ireland part 2

After our busy day of travel, we finally checked into our cute little hotel. Very friendly staff and very helpful. The next morning we were up early to catch a train to cork. We used Viator to book our three days trip. I highly recommend using this site for all of your travel tours. 


Saw lots of the most beautiful country side. When out of the city there is lot of green. Can differently see why it's called the Emerald Isle. One of the stops along the way was the Cliffs of Moher. Amazing work by Mother Earth. These cliffs are 700 ft above the Atlantic Ocean.  



 I love this picture of my feet hanging off the cliff, was
 kinda a rush. Wind was lightly blowing + salty smell in the air + watching the waves hit the rocks below = Peacefulness



We stopped in Cobh was once known as Cove also known as Queenstown. Why is this important you might be wondering. This was the last port of call for the Titanic before she left on her maiden voyage. In the movie Titanic it was referred as Queenstown. She also had to anchor out, the ship was to large to moor up to the pier. The Titanic was also built in Belfast, Ireland. That well be my first stop when I go back. 



This is commemorating her first and final voyage.
This is the harbor that the Titanic had anchored in.



We stayed 2 nights in Killarmey. Cute little town. There was a castle that we had walked too.  Pretty sure that the B an B that we stayed at was haunted. When you hear someone trying to use a key to get in their room and you open your door to help and see nobody. Or hear any foot steps this place was really old, a mouse could walk on floor and would creek. Also talking to the other ladies that where staying there were on the first floor, our room was on the second. They heard nothing. And Krista said she felt like someone was in the room walking around. You just put that out of your mind till after you have check out and talk about it later in a different country. 


This little place still used Skeleton keys for the bedrooms
I will say that the hostess was really sweet and made an amazing breakfast. Pretty sure that home was pre WWII. 


One of the days was a full day bus ride of the Ring of Kerry. Beautiful countryside. So green and lush. 


Till next time, sit back and enjoy the view.

Randy is writing the story, creating the music, editing and much more for this project. He also has recruited his friends to read some of the lines. Which makes this audio book even better.

Vatican City then headed home

As I finish up sharing my trip to Europe, I have started making plans to go to Australia.  Its hard to believe that it has been a year already since my last adventure. I must say a great way of finish up this amazing trip is going to the Vatican . My Aunt and I had purchased our tickets for the museum a head of time to avoid the lines. Highly recommend do this. As we waited for out time to enter the museum, we decided to walk around a bit. We decided to go in to Vatican City. We noticed that there were large crowds forming. Turns out that on Wednesdays that Pope Francis has a papal audience and gives mass . . We decided that you cant come to Vatican City and not see the Pope if he is having mass. There was a few hours before it stat, so we went to the museum. The last supper painted by Leonardo da Vinci The tombs were just fantastic to see, such great detail, telling a story. I snuck of picture of the Sistine Chapel , pai
