A trip to Cobh

On Thursday, the 29^th, I was in Cobh with some other exchange students. Cobh is a city about 20 minutes away from Cork. We went there by train- it was my first time on an irish train and it was really comfortable. First we went to the Titanic Experience. That is a museum about the Titanic, because Cobh was the last place where the Titanic had stayed before it sank. Together with the ticket you get the name of a passenger who went on the Titanic from Cobh. At the end you find out if the person survived. It was really interesting. We stood on the terrace where the passengers waited for the arrival of the Titanic over 100 years ago. Then we saw the rooms of the third and first class passengers (pictures). We also saw a short demonstration movie how the titanic sank. There were lots of information about the Titanic and at the end I discovered that my passenger, a 27 years old woman from third class survived. Afterwards we visited the cathedrale. It was huge and had beautiful stained glass windows (Buntglasfenster). All in all it was a great trip!
