The most impressive piece was a three foot Cinderella carriage selling for eighteen thousand dollars!

From Waterford Crystal, our bus tour guide took us to the Dooley's Hotel pub for a special Irish Coffee treat. I believe this is the first time I have ever seen Robert drink coffee! When he heard there was an extra kick to the drink, he definitely had to try some.

We then parted company with the tour bus and headed to a large indoor shopping mall; our tour guide having told us to be sure to check out Dunnes, a great store for unique, not to be found in America, children's clothes. Of course those of us who have recently acquired grandma (and great grandma) status HAD to check it out!

After a bit more shopping we caught a shuttle back to Dunmore East for the return tender back to the ship. On the 15 minute shuttle ride we once again enjoyed deep green stretches of fields, this time dotted with cows and sheep and set amongst thatched cottages and farm homes.

A late lunch at two did not keep us from missing our afternoon trivia game. Do I dare mention we lost again? Dorothy is probably ready to join a more trivia savvy team! At least, after Showtime when we went up to the Crow's Nest Lounge to play "Name That Tune," our team won. It helped we were joined by two others who really know their show tunes (as does Dorothy). Our team called "Saints and Sinners" won with twenty two points out of thirty—the MC told us it was one of the highest scores he has seen. Our prize: Holland luggage tags. Yippee.

Tonight's Showtime was a Broadway showstopper with classic selections from musicals such as 42nd Street, Crazy For you, Grease, and more. Especially enjoyable were the very enthusiastic, talented kids who really know how to sing, each and every one of them.

Robert is looking forward to tomorrow. After arriving in Liverpool, England, we will be visiting the birthplaces, former homes, schools and venues where the Beatles played!
