Places we loved

Camaret, the boat graveyard

Night falls on these memories

Newlyn is our first port of call across the Channel

It is an active fishing port

and also a very pretty village

with quaint old streets

Overlooking the Penzance Bay

Penlee Park, Penzance

Here is a street in Penzance that goes down to the bay

Dusk falls on this fishing port

Padstow is a pretty and very touristy port

With lots of restaurants and art shops

In summer weather

At the Malahide Castle

Near Malahide, the beautiful site of Ardgillan Castle

With very nice greenhouses

that remain open to the public

Here we are in Dublin, a busy city

Crossed by the Liffey river

With remarkable architecture

audacious designs

and some architectural anachronisms

and a lively social life !

Dublin, the Trinity College university

The National Maritime Museum, in an old church

A very interesting visit

for which Joe has given us abundant comments !
