London Show

We went to see 'Wicked'in the Apollo Victoria - the story of the witches of the Wizard of Oz. Its very funny - a very clever prequel to the famous musical.

The Dawn Princess ...

... sailed from Australia to Cobh with a large crowd on board. Cobh hosted an Australia day . After lashing rain all morning (which must have been nice for the visitors!), the sun came out and a great time was had by all. Particularly entertaining was the loud singing of Irish melodies (When Irish Eyes are Smiling etc.) from the decks on board and the land lubbers on-shore.
