The port of Cobh also had a Titanic connection.. It was the last port where it stops and picked up 123 passengers before their ill fated voyage

Finally!! The sun is out after MIA for couple of days

Caught a train from Cobh to Cork city which is about 30 mins away

Have sukiyaki for lunch…. Because, why not?!…. And its mid autumn festival tomorrow 🙌🙌

Train back to the seaside town of Cobh….

These colorful Deck of card houses are iconic here

Snapshots of this beautiful seaside town

Ending the journey with Guinness…. This pub has 100 % Irish pub vibe complete with live music…. We walked back to the ship with with them serenading us with U2’s One 🙌🙌

Because of storm Amy, our itinerary was in havoc…. But we don’t care, we already make the special trip to Edinburgh which we will miss if we did nothing…. Cheers to that….. So now we can relax, enjoy the sea day, do special dinning crab shack and captain’s circle… We will also enjoy one day of internet fasting…. So goodbye for now!!

We woke up before dawn and catch the old city of Edinburgh at its full glory

Leaves are turning yellow and red and they framed the old city and Edinburgh Castle very nicely

So happy that we spent the night at Edinburgh… The train ride from Glasgow to Edinburgh (cross country actually) is only 1 hour long

It’s kind of gloomy and drizzling but so happy to step foot on Scotland for the first time

The famous Sterling castle and former royal palace during the Renaissance

The charming town of Callander in the trossachs

Highland cows are Scotland’s endearing mascot.. this one is called ginger

A beautiful moment by the river with swans

First time in Belfast and we find it quite charming ….

Titanic was built here In Belfast and set sailed in Southampton UK. The Titanic experience museum in Belfast is quite an experience indeed!! Learned so much about the facts from different perspectives

Many coastal places were shot in the game of thrones

The northern Ireland coastal sceneries are captivating.. This is antrim coastal route, one of the top 5 scenic drives in the world

Tapestries of greens are everywhere. Including sheeps and cows

Unesco site, The Giant Causeway!! Got quite a bit of work out out of it so we ended up celebrating with a pint

Our Guide Tom and Ian the driver are a amazing pair that filled the whole bus with laughter and fun… What a day!! They said it’s going to rain but it didn’t…. The sun was even out when we were at the giant Causeway…. We felt happy and lucky…. This tour that we found on TripAdvisor was only 1/10th of the price of ship’s excursion…. Cheers to that 🍻
