Kinsale is a beautiful place to visit. Lots to see and do and amazing food. Lots of lovely walks to do. Charles Fort is worth a visit, very well maintained with spectacular views of the harbour. Great coffee from a truck at the entrance.

Walking in the footsteps of Joyce himself in wonderful Trieste this Sunday morning. Blue skies and sunshine with a brisk wind. Cafe San Marco is worth a visit if you come here.
