My trip to Limerick during the week end of the 14th and the 15th March

Bunratty castle and the folk park is such a good place to see typical old houses and jobs. It’s a great place to visit with the whole family especially with children I think.

John’s Castle is a really nice castle to understand history and culture of Ireland and Irish people. 

The city of Limerick is quite quiet and there are some beautiful buildings. The river which cross the city offers some great activities like canoeing.

Kinsale

A nice village known for the fishing is on the county of Cork. There are two forts near the city and a lovely little beach. It’s really relaxing to walk around with this sun - so rare in Ireland.

Cork is a really nice city -when it isn't raining. I like this view I have every morning when I go to school.

Cobh, or Cove or Queenstown, is a famous city near Cork. It's mostly famous because it was the last place to boarding in the Titanic. So, it was also the last place where we saw the Titanic. 

But Cobh is also a place where there were a lot of departures of immigration to Australia, Canada and USA, mostly during the nineteen century. So this city has a very important story in connection with the immigration of the Irish people.

There is also a beautiful cathedral in the town with a big organ. 

It was really interesting to visit this place.

Blarney castle is known for its stone. If you kiss the stone you would have the gift of eloquence.

The castle is really beautiful, mainly with the sun. The gardens of the castle are also so beautiful. Walking in the fern garden or in the rock close garden had something magical.

What a magic walk!
