Michael's Operation Transportation Day 4
Michael writes..
This evening I decided to venture down the Marina and towards Blackrock Castle. The castle has been around since the 16th century and the castle and its surrounding areas are a great place to escape from the city for a cycle.
If this picturesque castle looks like somewhere you wouldn't mind visiting yourself have a search of the information HERE Here I met fellow Operation Transportation blogger, JP. We cycled together along the path by the castle taking in the beautiful scenery before we parted ways to continue our own cycling journeys.
It was after this that I decided to take in more sights of the city. Following my trip to Blackrock Castle, I cycled to Saint Fin Barres Cathedral which was built in the 19th century. It is seen to be one of the most popular tourist spots in the city and it is very easy to see why with its beautiful and eye catching design. A definite must see on any cycle journey!
Finally following my trip to the Cathedral, I stopped by UCC to see the statue that was recently erected of George Boole who is known as the 'Father of the Information Age' due to his incredible work involving Boolean Algebra which has shaped modern computer science. UCC celebrated his 200th birthday in 2015 and a statue was unveiled in his honor in 2016.
Following a visit to all these amazing sights my fitness levels couldn't take anymore so I decided to pack it in for the evening and start fresh again tomorrow.
After Michael's whistle stop tour of the city he definitely slept well last night!
