Got up at 7:30 got repacked and made my way to breakfast. Spoke to a nice young couple from Vermont who were on their honeymoon. The guy has also had some calls with his car.
I left and saw that there was a symbol on the car I did not recognize. Worried it was a tire or engine problem I tried to call Hertz but could not get the number to go. I found the way to the Waterford airport and the guy said he had no car to give me and I would have to go to Cork Airport Hertz. He did exchange the GPS but 5 minutes after I left him it too was dying.
I decided to go to the Harley dealer. That was the last directions my GPS had in it before it died. Got what I needed from the them. I left my car there and walked 15 mins to the Waterford Factory, did my shopping and went back.
I stopped at a Ford dealer on my way out and found out I am stupid!! The light was because I did not get the emergency break down all the way! good to know the car was ok though.
I headed to Cork. The road is pretty much a straight shot. About an hour i saw a sign for Lismore Castle so I back tracked 30 minutes but found the castle. It is closes for the season, there is a duke that lives there. A gardener saw me and she let me on the grounds closer to the castle so I could take a couple pictures, super nice of her :)
She told me about a bridge where I could get the back of the castle.
I headed back on my way to Cork, I finally found my way to the Hertz place at 6:00 ... They closed at 5:00... There was a person there thank God! He looked at the GPS and finally listened to me that it was the lighter. They had me pull in and the garage person knew what the problem was ... A fuse! So now I am all fixed, no car light and GPS is working! Yay.
Plugged in the coordinates for my B&B arrrg it is an hour back from the way I came!! Got on my way and finally got to the Roseville B&B at 7:30. Phyllis the owner was worried. My room is very nice but it is the farthest from the entrance on the 2nd floor. Took me 3 trips to get everything in. Once in, I went to a local restaurant called "The Red Store". Food was really nice. Had corned beef in a gravy with mashed potatoes. Got back and collapsed until about midnight when I called my sweetie!
I thought I entered this yesterday but apparently I forgot to save! Won't do that again!
