Cark (phonetically speaking)

We had a quick trip down to Cork to see Paddy & Becks. Unfortunately, Becks was called away on a business trip to New York, so we didn’t get to see her. It was a lovely break down there. I’d not really spent much time in Cork before, so it was nice to have a wander around.

Not that these are really pictures of Cork.. but hey ho. I’d forgotten just how incredibly narrow the streets are in Irish towns. We had a lovely time though. Paddy is now working for Heinekin so there was no end of nice beers to try.

We did go for a nice ~4km walk along the coast

Definitely a useful thing to do, as I realised that the shoes I’d bought before coming travelling were _eating_ my feet alive. A good thing to know as the rest of the trip was going to at least involve walking (in Iceland) and I needed decent walking shoes. A quick trip to the handily located Patagonia European outlet store (in Dublin) was arranged and I ended up in something I could actually walk in.

Ok, not that exciting a story about the shoes, but honestly, it meant a lot at the time ;)
