Down to Cobh on my Rothar (pushie)

Nothing better than Cobh on a fine day and Cork Harbour puts on a magnificent show. You can imagine the Pride of the White Star Line,anchored in the Harbour, preparing to take on board a further 123 passengers before it embarked on its fateful journey. Today Cobh is not only basking in the sun but also the boost in tourism that centenary celebrations are providing.
THe original name Cove was changed to Queenstown to honor the visit of Queen Victoria in 1849 and in 1921 reverted back to Cobh when Ireland achieve independence.
Today it was a bike ride to Passage and then the ferry and up on the bike again to Cobh. To cap off a great day the Bosun served up a great sea food chowder on the cycle home.
The boat fare on the Titanic from Queenstown to New York was six pounds and ten shillings in 1912 and the Ferry ride in 2012 from Passage cost me one Euro and fifty cents!!- chalk it down on your itinerary.
