ADVENTURES, CHALLENGES, AND INSIGHTS OF A COUPLE IN EARLY RETIREMENT
Cork is a short drive down the coast from our last stop in Waterford and not really far from Dublin. Being in the center of the southern coast of Ireland, Cork was an ideal base from which to explore southern Ireland for the next several days of our Irish road trip.
As our sojourn in Dublin came to an end, we got a car and headed out into the wilds of Ireland, the “Emerald Isle.” Clearly, we shouldn’t have been surprised that the sky was mostly wet and gray.
Our 10 days in Dublin left us with interesting impressions of the city, its most famous sights, Riverdance, and the food.
Sometimes the planets align for a perfect day during our roving retirement. Without much forethought, we managed to make our first Saturday in Dublin Ireland into a well-rounded experience of history, whiskey, music, and food.
We happily left our cruise ship behind in Marseille and headed to Nice. After a short stay in France, we headed to Dublin, the first stop on our month-long tour of Ireland.
