Day Seven: Cork and Kinsale

Image
Click Here Today we spent some time in Cork and the surrounding area. Cork is the second largest city in the republic of Ireland. This area of Ireland is known for its culinary culture, especially a town called Kinsale we will visit later in the day. Cork has a large indoor market that is not to be missed. The first time I heard about this was watching Samantha Brown on the Travel Channel. Below is a clip of her visiting the English Market, she also tries the black and white pudding that I talked about in yesterday's post. We skipped the black and white pudding today and opted for some coffee and a pastry at the Farmgate Cafe . Situated above the market it provides a great spot to sip a flat white (steamed milk and esspresso) and people watch. Check out my Travel Tips section of the blog to learn the difference between an American coffee menu and a European one. After we browsed the market and walked around Cork a little we got back in the car and drove to Kinsale. K
