This post, however, is to celebrate the time we spent in Youghal and its environs, as we had already stayed a couple of weekends there and we did manage to get around to have a look-see. I didn't really know that much about Cork before our Youghal adventure and I can now say I am definitely a convert... I love everything about Cork; the amazing scenery, the laidback people, and even the crazy driving. Hopefully we'll still find a way to live there in the future but in the meantime, the photographs above and below are my tribute to the People's Republic (and Waterford, as it's so close to Youghal and we drove all over)... click to enlarge and read the captions!
P.S., here are another couple of posts that feature Cork & Waterford, if you're interested!
