After leaving the Dublin airport Tuesday morning, we made our why through small cities and villages towards Cork making a brief stop at the Rock of Cashel, a cluster of ruins nestled on top of a rocky hill.

Jet-lag made the bus ride quiet, but everyone perked up after arriving at our hotel in Cork – The Imperial Hotel. A great hotel with an ‘old-world-elegant’ feel to it — Plus a perfect location right in the center of Cork!
