Cobh on Our Own
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.
Portland Port & Weymouth
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.
Belfast and the Titanic
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.
