In the afternoon, we took the bus🚌 to Cork🏘️🏢🏭, Ireland's🇮🇪 second-largest city after Dublin. Due to our small time window⏱️, we did a quick round🔄 through the city🏙️. We walked🚶🏼‍♀️‍➡️🚶🏼‍➡️ over numerous bridges🌉, saw👀 many cathedrals, colorful houses🏠, several murals, and historic buildings🏰. Finally, we made a detour to the English Market before we took the bus🚌 back🔙 to Cogh🛳️.
