One day, I was at home and I suddenly decided to go to Cobh. You can go there by trains (it's direct), but I had a bus ticket to go to Monkstown,(it's the limit of my monthly bus ticket), after I had to take the ferry and walk to Cobh.
I thought It was very closed to the ferry but it wasn't :)
So I paid one euro the ferry and when I got off it I saw a panel where it was written "Cobh 3,5km".
When I was on the ferry it was little scary because the weather was bad and there were a lot of waves, I took a pictures of the view but there was fog ...
I had to walk to this city, there was nobody on the street, it was some street, sometimes I crossed some cars but not a lot. So I put my music and I song at the top of my voice : "Galway girl"from Pop feast, it was so great.
Cobh is a city in Ireland (in Irish, it's An Cóbh).
From 1850 until 1920, this city was known as Queenstown.
On 11 April 1012, Queenstown was the final port of call for the RMS Titanic.
The first place I visited in Cobh was the Titanic experience but I don't recommand you to visit it because it's expensive and small, it doesn't worth it. If you have the good luck to go to Belfast don't hesitate to visit the Titanic museum there, it is very well made.
Here is my entrance ticket to visit the Titanic experience.
On this ticket, there is the name of a person who get on this boat. I was "Mary Mangan". She embarked on the RMS Titanic the 11 April 1912 in Queenstown.
