It is hard to believe that September is done. We only have a short time left. It was a very rainy today.
When the rain let up a little we walked down town. We went on the hop-on Hop-off bus to tour the city. Found out that the city is built on 14 islands. The estuaries have been culverted over So that a lot of the city is built on water. Two estuaries have been left open one to the north and one to the south creating an island for the city centre. There are lots of bridges. Cork is a very busy sea port. At one point on the tour the streets were very congested so the bus driver backed up the narrow lane way so she could take a different route. She did a great job.
We hopped off at the City Goal. The tour took about an hour to do. It was interesting. It was raining quite hard when we were done the tour. We stood out in the rain for 20 min waiting for the bus. It was the same bus driver we had earlier. She let us off at the end of the street we had to walk up to get back to our B&B. We were just about at the corner. Charles was a little bit ahead of me. A car came along and splashed me. Auggh!! My shoe and pant leg were soaked. This evening it got nice so we went for a walk.
