Scenic...

We had originally wanted to stay in Kinsale for two nights but we hadn’t bargained on the “world famous” Kinsale Sevens (a rugby tournament apparently) taking place this very weekend, so we were reduced to one night...

We drove the scenic route down from Cork to Kinsale which hardly took any time at all...

The little town seemed strewn with many worse for wear rugby types but was lovely nonetheless...
While we waited for our room to be made ready, we went up to Desmond Castle and took the tour of the buildings and the wine museum - the links between Ireland and the various wine making regions around the world are fascinating...
Ater the tour, a quick coffee...
...and then to the hotel which was superb...
After relaxing on the balcony for a while we drove out to the headland....
The very end of the land is now a golf course but I did step out onto the cliffs and was almost blown over into the sea...

In the evening, a pubcrawl around the village was followed by a "tasty" chinese meal...
