fishy fishy Kinsale
Today we met the group and Barry gave us a walking tour of his home town, Kinsale. We learned about this medieval walled town’s interesting maritime history. Kinsale is Ireland’s self-proclaimed gourmet capital. We met with the local owner of the successful restaurant: Fishy Fishy, which is known for it's fabulous fresh caught seafood! It was fun getting to talk with him and learning more about his restaurant and life in Kinsale. It was a cold and rainy day as we headed out on the bus to the nearby Charles Fort. We took a guided tour of this star-shaped fort and then many of us chose to walk back to Kinsale. It was so stormy that a boat capsized nearby and there was a big rescue to recover the sailors. We shopped at a wonderful street market and local shops, took a quick nap and then met the group for a musical dinner. Later a few of us met at the Tap Tavern for a humorous Ghost Tour of Kinsale!
