Kinsale was a beautiful little town, often explained as the Newport of Ireland. The vistas were incredible. I know I have said this many times, but I love being by the sea, no matter what. After we settled into our room at Actons Hotel (which was beautiful!), Mom, Dad, Nana, Big B, and I wandered around the town center. We stopped at a great chocolate shop and taste tested some of the goods!I was also on a mission to find Maureen a birthday gift from me and Carolyn, and I think I found the perfect item. I can't wait for you to see it, Mo :) After our shopping mission, we were all in the mood for some tea and scones. This is definitely a Irish activity I have been adjusting very well to! We went to a great little cafe called the Lemon Leaf Cafe. I had a carmel cookie square with some hot tea, it was absolutely delicious!
Everyone was a little pooped, so we headed back to the hotel to rest. I went for a much needed run at the hotel, preparing my stomach for the fabulous dinner we would be having at Fishy Fishy. Our driver, Martin, was raving about the food here, so I could only imagine it was going to be great. At dinner, Dad, Mom and I shared the crab risotto (oh my goodness, amazing), and everyone shared the muscles. For dinner, I had the John Dory white fish, which I had never tried before, and it was very good! When in Kinsale, you must eat seafood!
After dinner, Greg, Carolyn, Mom, Dad and I went to Kitty O'Se's for a drink. There was great trad music, and a plus, a performance by the owner's husband. His voice was amazing!
I was very tired (I don't know why because all I have been doing is eating!), and headed to bed. Kinsale was so beautiful, but it was back to Cork City tomorrow!
Be back soon!
