The butter exchange and the Bells of Shandon

Yesterday I visited the Butter museum and the Bells of Shandon in Cork city.

It rained on the way to the butter museum and when we arrived we were wet all over.
 At 12:00 was a demonstration which showed how butter was made in the old days. It was quiet interesting and at the end we could taste the butter - it was delicious=) In the museum we learnt how successfull the butter trade in Cork in the 19th centuary was. From Cork butter was sold to the whole world!
Afterwards we visited the Bells of Shandon. The Bells are really famous and although it was a bit expensive it was worth it! You are allowed to play a song on the bells, which you can hear all over Cork. I played Amazing Grace. =) Past the bells we climbed to the top of the tower. The view from the tower was amazing and we were lucky because the sun was shinning again.
