Giant's Causeway at Cobh, Northern Ireland
Stop at the Giant's Causeway, Northern Ireland's only Unesco WHS. Rainy day but fun to see this unusual site and waves crashing on the shore!

Killybegs, Ireland
Biggest hand-operated loom in the world made with Canadian pine wood. The lady said she can do 1000 knots per hour!
These carpets are in Irish embassies around the world and other major public places.
At a local pub, some musicians and crew singers from our ship fraternize.
The town sports a small "cathedral" and lots of fishing boats. A quiet walk under the warm drizzle.

Isle of Skye
Some consider it the most romantic island of Scotland, and maybe it is, but kind of windy and cold for that purpose today.
We take a leisurely tour of the perimeter and soak in the landscape.
Peat cutting was a major industry for centuries, was then abandoned as uneconomical but it's been resurrected by demand of peat for whisky.
The tomb of Alexander McQueen is a highlight, the fashion genius rests here.
Royal Dinner for the wedding of Harry and Meghan
Evening "Royal" ball on our chip Queen Victoria :)
