We fall into bed at goodness knows what time & have a good sleep. Saturday morning is grey and wet. After an Irish breakfast (Well Ian had the full works) we go to Old Head. This is the place where the Luisitania was sunk. There are some cliffs here & I am hopeful of catching sight of something different, perhaps a Guillemot or Razorbill. But nothing doing really, lots of Gulls and Cormorants. The sun comes out & we manage to get a few photographs taken but it is short lived so we go back into Kinsale.
There is so much to do in & around the town. There are 2 old forts which are of great historical interest; you can do a harbour cruise and a choice of escorted town walks or a variety of walks on your own. Sitting watching the boats, seals, birds and general goings on are a favourite of us all. In case of bad weather there are lots of shops, 20 pubs, and umpteen places to eat. An extremely well manned information centre is stocked full of places to go & things to do. There is a wildlife view point just down the road in Kinsale Marsh so we spend a while down there & spot some Curlew and Black Tailed Godwits.
