Cobh

Getting towards the end of our travels, we moved on to Cobh which is a small seaside town on the south coast. It turns out it was the final port of call for the RMS Titanic before she set out across the Atlantic.

Alas, there wasn’t much in this small seaside town but we did have a lovely walk along the waterfront.

Back in the town, we did stumble on an escape room place and got a good deal for a family of four.  We were handcuffed together and locked in to a prison cell. There, we scrambled to find clues and managed to get out of our cuffs though still locked in the cell.  Thankfully William didn’t use the old prop toilet in the cell. After a few helping hints, we managed to get out and proceed on to the next room. Rebecca even managed to work out a few clues and we succeeded in escaping.

We also paid a visit to the Jameson distillery nearby in Midleton.  Sadly, children were not allowed in so we skipped the visit.  However, we were allowed in to the shops, Tony brought some whiskey (no surprise) and Jameson socks. There was also a micro distillery called Method and Madness attached to Jameson, I picked up some preserved black lemon gin which is lovely. Of course, Tony got a few more bottles of whiskey.
