There are plenty of lighthouses to see in Ireland, Scotland, and Norway if you're going in that direction. We also went into the port of Amsterdam and there are 2 lights you can see when you enter or leave from there.

Enjoy your trip.
Lorie,

I'm sitting in Cobh Harbor (pronounced Cove) near Cork. I missed the one on the way into the harbor (I was taking a shower at the time- Esther saw it and got some pictures of it )but I'm going to try and see it in about an hour or so when we depart.

The name of this one is Roche's Point-

I got up on deck just in time to see the small one in Cobh Harbor and I got some photos of it. This one is called Spit Bank and it's one of the last screwpile type lighthouses in Ireland

We went to Kinsale today but didn't have enough free time to take a cab out to see the lighthouse there. We did stop at Charles Fort and saw it from the rear- at least the very top of it.

We will be cruising to Dublin this evening and then on to Glasgow and from there bck to Belfast. We will also be in Olden, Bergen, Geiranger and Hellesylt norway and Copenhagen, Denmark.

I'd appreciate any input you might remember about any of those areas- I left my list of posssible ones to see on my computer desk at home.
