From Cork to Skibbereen

We had a great day in Cork which is where the Queen is due in a couple of days time. We found a great B & B and then today visited the Idaho Cafe for breakfast.  The reason being we wanted to meet another of our cousins. Richard is the brother of William.  He owns this great restaurant in Cork and we surprised him when we walked in. He hadn't been told of our arrival and his phone was actually ringing as we arrived with his brother trying to warn him of our arrival.  We had a great time and had a great breakfast.
We then travelled to the Blarney Castle and climbed up this very old castle.  We queued up to kiss the Blarney Stone! which is supposedly the thing to do at the castle.
From here we went to Kinsale which was absolutely beautiful and very picturesque.
Then we made our way to our next Servas home.  Well what have we here.  A beautiful home and met by a young Polish man called Thomaz.  He was only expecting 2 of us not 4!!  No dinner was waiting for us either. Jennie had specifically told him there were 4 of us.
What do we do now? We were starving!!  We had to  excuse ourselves and go out for dinner asking our host if he wanted to come. We are still waiting for our mattress which Thomaz went out to collect at 10pm!
Will hopefully have some photos tomorrow.
