We got a message from the AirBnB host that there were no new guests so we could leave at our leisure. That meant we did not leave Cobh until noon. It also gave us ample time to sleep in, 10:00, and pack up the car at our own pace. Even though it was only an hour and a half ride we were determined to take longer so we took a few unplanned exploratory "detours.". We stopped off in the picturesque town of Clonakilty to check out a specific restaurant. It turns out we were not really hungry so we kept on going to the Anchorage, our stay in Rosscarbery.
Oyster Catchers on the wing
A tall railroad bridge
The classic Irish countryside we always imagined
Missing one cow to get the cow circle clock
It is Cow Henge
A vine covered old wall
The green doors are nice
Carved tree stumps
Most every circle had a piece of art in the center
Send in the cows...
There already here
More art on display
In Clonakilty they cut a hole in the tree to allow clearance for the wires
Nice window
Odd name for a restaurant
Wazzy who?
Cork is the largest county in Ireland
The buildings are colorfully painted
An odd croc monster
Pub o' blooms
Say that three times fast
More decorative walls
The ubiquitous spire
All through town we saw cut outs of folks with binoculars
Nicely upkept
The sun is breaking through the clouds
An affront to the front of a VW Bus
This was a laundry with a cheeky sign
A smaller church a few blocks away from the main one
Monkeys!
Hornbills!
This colorful town is also filled with animals
Odd that the sign next to the cut out is for a CCTV surveillance
The Anchorage!
So cozy and a great kitchen to boot
Flowers in front
A very nice place
The Rooks live here
This place is the bomb!
It has been 2 years and 102 days since we began our Migration
