Everything worked and we arrived in Cork by bus from the Dublin Airport early this afternoon!  We had to find a new hotel due to Hurricane Irma, as we weren’t sure we’d arrive in time and canceled our long-ago-booked reservation at Acorn Guest House.  <\/p>\n

Tonight we’re sleeping at Hotel Issacs–tomorrow we’re not sure where we’ll be!  Cork is a busy and popular city!  We’ll stay here another night if they have a cancellation but so far, that’s not an option.<\/p>\n

Our room is large and comfortable but since it was a last minute booking,  not inexpensive.  It’s well-located near the bus\/rail station and city center plus, it has good Wi-Fi which is just what we need.  Our plan is to pick up a rental car tomorrow.<\/p>\n

The English Market shown below is a popular destination for locals and tourists.  Shops sell an array of local produce, meats, fish, pastries and more!

It’s a breezy, sunny day so perfect for discovering highlights of  this walkable city.  The popular shopping street named Oliver Plunkett is pedestrian-only with many shops!

\nThe Cathedral shown below, was built for the patron saint of Cork, Fin Barre.  It was rebuilt to its current style in 1870.  We thought it was worth a visit to see the design, mosaics, stained glass windows and to learn about its history. 
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nWe found the perfect plate of scones and hope to find more when it’s time for breakfast tomorrow!
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nIn the meantime, all is well and we’re happy to be discovering a new destination–Cork!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
