The coastline was real charming, as we came to port. We took a tour of the Blarney Castle and around Cork. We weren’t impressed with Cork. Overall, it was poorer. We noticed that the people didn’t dress as classy as compared to the people in London.
We went to the Blarney Castle and kissed the Blarney stone. You have to lay down on your back and a guy holds your legs while you kiss the stone. Kissing the stone is supposed to give you the gift of gab or make you eloquent.
The stairs in the castle are very steep.
We stopped at the Blarney Woolen factory. The sweaters were $125, which was way too much.
When we got back to the ship, there were some shops along the port. We got some beautiful woolen sweaters. My sweater cost $30 and my mom’s was $64.
Cork was the last place that the Titanic stopped at before the big crash. They were bound for New York City.
At 5:30 p.m., I watched the crew wind up the ropes and the ship departed. Many Irish men and women were watching our ship sail away. I felt like I was on the Love Boat. They waved to us. They also had a band at port playing “Anchor’s Away”.
The entertainment on the ship tonight was a man with many faces, as well as a juggler. They were pretty good.
