Since shortly after we crossed the border from South Dakota into Wyoming we have more or less been following the Bozeman Trail which was designed to be the shortest overland route from Ft Laramie to the Virginia City gold fields. John Bozeman was a major figure in the Euro-American settlement of Montana. He originally traveled west to look for gold but ultimately gained fame as a trailblazer and a town builder. And then there’s the question of how he died. Historians are still trying to solve the mystery.
For our first adventure together on the Emerald Isle, we walked the streets of Cobh, County Cork, explored St Colman’s Cathedral, and visited the Cobh Heritage Center.
Our brief stop in Portland Port in Dorset, England yielded just enough time to get a tiny taste of the historic town of Weymouth, a Cream Tea, and a desire to return.
After a guided bus tour of the City of Belfast we visited the Titanic Belfast Museum located at the Harlan & Wolff shipyard where the great ship was built.
