Blarney - Cobh - Dunmore East

Started day with a drive to  Cobh (cove) with a visit to Titanic museum. 

Note all the flaxes and cabbage trees - are you sure we aren't in NZ

Waterfront a hive of activity to get ready for Saturday when the first of the cruise liners come in for season.

 Cobh which was known as Queenstown at the time was the last port of call for Titanic they took on 144 passages from here and only 44 survived.

We then drove on to Killeagh and had a lovely lunch in the Thatch Pub, I had a yummy seafood chowder and Pete had a ploughmans - rating would be 7 out of 10. Atmosphere and service was superb. 

Our drive continued with a drive to Dungarvan and onto Stradbally (I visited old graves as family where from this area).  Very exciting, asked one of the locals if they knew Currens or Murray or Powers and was told yes heard of Currens but not the rest. When I investigated the cemetry half of them are Powers - I bet the bar maid was not Catholic. LOL Anyway have taken lots of photos and am going to look more into this.

We then pushed onto Dunmore East to stay the night but alas the club has burnt down so we eat in camp. (Pete chose this camp over lunch as it had a bar - oh dear not a happy chappy)
Camp ground has no wifi also so I am posting this from tablet and unfortunately I took very few photos on this today, shall post them on facebook tomorrow. Clara the kiwi is for you ;-)
