I stood outside the entrance to Charles fort fo r almost 15 minutes before Esther noticed the light. I had forgotten about it. We stopped in kinsale on an excursion from our cruise and did a short stop on the way out of town to view the city & harbor from there.

I got a photo of part of the LH but I hope to get back to Kinsale and tour the fort and get a good view of the LH.

Hook Head is the one thing i've told all on the trip this time that I have to get to. We'll combine it with Waterford which pleases Esther and Cathy (my sister-in-law). We'll be staying in Mallow County cork and driving to different places each day with the last 2 days in Dublin.

I don't expect to get to too many other lighthouses as my brother and his wife are not into LH's.

Dennis,

If you are spending two days in Dublin, you should have plenty of time to see several lights. There are ten of them in and around Dublin, all quite easy to get to if you have a car.

Hilary,

As I said in my original post quoted above- there is no great expectation on lighthouse visits on this trip. This is even more true in dublin as we have limited time and literally unlimited other choices. I've made it clear we ARE DEFINITELY getting to Hook Head anything else is a bonus as far as i'm concerned.

Different people have different priorities and I ahve to respect that.(Anyway I saw a number of the lighthouses in the dublin area last year on the cruise ship leaving Dublin)
