Experiencing Cork and Cobh - in the rain

I woke up early, and ended up getting lost, in the hostel, and then after messing about, I found the kitchen. And some breakfast. I had a little mountain of bread slices and apricot marmalade everywhere. *Yummy*
After a while Synneve got up and ate breakfast.

Afterwards we headed for the train to Cobh.
*Out against the sea*

 The train took about 25 minutes from Cork to Cobh, and pass the Fota Wildlife Park. I really wanted to go there, but it was kinda difficult since I was inside the train.
We got to Cobh, and it was raining and it was foggy. Not the best weather, but true Irish weather. The first thing we did was to find a church that was not longer a church, it was a museum. About the Americans and famine and emigrants.
Did you know that :

"From 1848 - 1950 over 6 million adults and children emigrated from Ireland - over 2.5 million departed from Cobh, making it the single most important port of emigration.

This exodus from Ireland was largely as a result of poverty, crop failures, the land system and a lack of opportunity. Irish emigration reached unprecedented proportions during the famine as people fled from hunger and disease."

After being there for a while, we went out in the pouring rain. Cobh is not THAT bad. I went "shopping" and looking at churches, while Synneve sat inside drinking a pint of Guinness. It was raining cats and dogs, and so windy too, so I got into the pub as well, and took some great photos with my phone. When I got there I looked like a drowned cat.
Then Synneve went to a museum, and I went to the souvenir shop, and I bought a tin whistle, and its so fun to play at. I also bought some key-chains and stuff. Then we went out to look at the statue of Annie Moore and her two brothers. Annie Moore became the first ever emigrant to be processed in Ellis Island when it officially opened on 1st January 1892.

Afterwards I met Synneve, and we got the train back to Cork. I never got a message from Fifi *sad face*.

We walked from the trainstation to the hostel, and ended up gas-poisoning the whole hostel, and it smelled gas and burned food for a while. We met two American girls, what was very nice.
We ate, and Synneve disappeared into the night. And came back...

Went to sleep, and tried not to make so much noise, since there were like 16 beds in the dorm...
