The Last Hurrah for Crinkly - Euro tour (9/7-?) Day 22 Seeing the sights in Cork (9/28)

Have breakfast at the house and then walk into town to see the old fort before continuing our walk and coming upon a free museum that has a Rembrandt exhibit with a bunch of his works; I really enjoyed some of his work as they were really great. 

Early morning church visit

Beautiful alter

Love the wood ceiling supports


Who doesnt love a lovely stained glass window?

Crinkly goes to visit a fort

Crinkly checking out some old stone walls

Better view I must say

Crinkly chilling with the cannon master

River views from the city

Crinkly found a great statue in the main square

Giant market in the heart of Cork, Crinkly approves

Found some street art!

Crinkly found some more art. A few days later, this art was getting painted over I guess for a new piece

Holy Trinity Roman Catholic Church

Front of the Cathedral

Entrance to the Cathedral

Walking around the church

Profile pic of the church

Labyrinth behind the church

Beautiful building


St Francis Roman Catholic Church

Inside the church is beautiful

Stained glass windows for the win

So much gold

More lovely stained glass

Shandon Bells and Tower at St Annes Church

Found an awesome old car sitting outside the Roman catholic cathedral of St Marys and St Anne

St Marys is insanely beautiful inside!

Love these windows, how could one not

Got some organs around the stained glass :)

Craftsmanship

Front of St Marys

Another view of the Bells Tower

View of the tower in front of the old market building I believe

Ill be back for you

Back by the river getting some weather

University on the river

Ducked into the Holy Trinity to get dry and out of the hard rain

Much different than St. Marys

Also has some awesome stained glass windows

Stopping in for some delicious Palestinian food

Delicious... also you can tell its during covid cause of the sani on the table

Greetings indeed. Delicious food and very warm owner.

Better view of holy trinity now that the storm has passed. Impressive architecture inside and out

Ahhh yes... This was the place we went one of the first nights

Crinkly went back up to the north side of town to check out a craft brewery

Family reunion

Finally made it into Sin E as it was packed the first time. Cool place

Nice old fireplace upstairs

Lil music from Sin e - enjoy


Walk around a bit more, check out some churches as we try and stay dry as its raining off and on. Grab a bite at Izz Cafe which has delicious Palestinian food. After dinner head over to Thompsons brewery on the other end of town to try some of their craft beers while waiting for the show to start. Meet up at the Cork theater for a play about Katty Barry; was a great show with a very small production (think there were like 5 actors and maybe like 30 seats in the theater. Then we head to Sin e down the road after for a few drinks and some live music until they close down. Had great music and was a really nice place. Get home and shower before heading to bed.
