If you’re Ken what better way to end your time in Ireland than on a golf course? With the help of the ship’s concierge, Ken and six of our fellow passengers made an early tee-time at the near-by Cobh Golf Club expecting 60-degree temperatures and morning rain. Instead they got 65+ temperatures and beautiful blue sky. It was a great day for golf and a gorgeous course. And there was even time afterwards to stroll through the town, enjoy a pint and find a keepsake.
Tiny little Cobh’s main claim to fame is that it was the Titanic’s last stop on its way to New York. It’s an interesting thing to take such pride in, but Cobh does, naming bars, restaurants and stores after the ship and offering a walking tour of the town that allow you the same experience Titanic travelers would have had before that fateful night. Not quite the tone we were looking for, seeing as how our ship will be following that same course when we leave here.
From Cobh we set sail for St. John’s Newfoundland, a four-day journey across the Atlantic Ocean. We’re headed home. The next time our feet touch land it will be North American soil.

Good-bye rolling green hills 
Good-bye upside down light houses (light located on the bottom of the lighthouses in Ireland)
