It's booked and everything!Finally!!

During the winter 90-91 I lived and worked here in Cork at a small youth hostel at Lower Glanmire Rd. It was definitely some of the best months of my life and I don't know why I haven't returned yet. Cork is Irelands second city and very much a harbour town. Since I haven't been back for so many years I don't know much about the city of today but I know it's worth visiting. It's a big small town were you find everything you need and a wonderful area surrounding the city. County Cork is very big and have a lot to offer every taste and need. But before you start looking for it, I never went to Blarney Castle and I never kissed the Blarney Stone. I went to Kingsale instead!

Now, thirteen years later, I'll finally get to go back. It's sentimental, there'll be closures and there'll be a lot of fun. I am going to embrase that memory lane with my whole heart!:-)

    a friend moved to Cork and there may be a working place for me too, who knows, but at least, Cork remains one of my dreams :o)

    Kinsale is really better than Kissing the Blarney stone ...
