Hello again from Cork.
Today we had a trip to Cobh!
We did something special today, we went to Cobh by train. Cobh is a toristic village in the coast, where the river Lee (the city that runs through Cork) meets the Atlantic Ocean.
In Cobh we have visited Spike island, the largest island prison of the world ( larger than the famous Alcatraz prison) Spike island was used for common criminals, but also for political prisioners. Ireland was under English rule for over 800 centuries. There we saw the punishments the prisioners had (our teacheirs took notes of that, we don't really know what for).
After Spike island we had some free time in Cobh, and then back to Cork. And finally the rain appeared (we thought the Irish weather fame was fake) Hope tomorrow gets better. See you tomorrow.
Slán!!
