UK & Ireland - day 32 (2015-10-11) - Mucklin to Heathrow

After one last visit with Nora, we left Mucklin just before 10:30 am.  The GPS steered us without issue to Cork, but not realizing that there was a petrol station right at the entrance to Cork airport, we wasted a bunch of time driving to the "nearest" petrol station (per the GPS) finding one out of business and one closed on Sundays....but good practice driving a stick shift on narrow streets on the wrong side of the road.

We dropped the rental car, and as we headed through the terminal to check in for our flight, I spied two things of interest in the Spar store.  The first was Tim Horton coffee (as Canadian as....), and the second was Jelly Snakes from the Natural Confectionery Company (a favourite of mine when in New Zealand).  I used all of my Euro change to buy snakes....so it wasn't just St. Patrick who got the snakes out of Ireland!!  Two thumbs up for Spar stores.

The flight to Heathrow was on time, where it was clear sailing through customs and immigration, and we connected well with the Hotel Hoppa bus to our hotel.  So overall an easy travel day.

We ate dinner in The Plough, a nearby pub, where we watched Ireland trounce France in their last Rugby World Cup pool match.  Go Ireland!!!

Nothing good on TV, so we hunkered down with our books, and an early night.
