    Quick Afternoon in Cork City

    "Brenda was a great host. We enjoyed our food and drink tour in Cork. I wish we had more time in the market with a few more tastings from a variety of vendors. Drinks were varied and generous. Some sort of mini speaker would be great because it was hard to hear with the city noise. With that said we enjoyed our tour and our time with Brenda"
