Arrived in Dublin last night—in a small propeller jet where we were greeted with lots of rain.
But we were blessed with the best weather today for our guided walking tour of Dublin with an awesome guide Dave—a 4th generation Dubliner! Thank goodness we didn’t have to navigate stairs like we did in Edinburgh! This was followed by a trip to Trinity College and the Book of Kells Experience —unimaginable how the monks created this book and even more astonishing is how it remained so well preserved.
This was followed by a walk across the famous Ha’penny Bridge —Dublin’s first dedicated pedestrian bridge over the River Liffey, built in 1816. Toll to cross the bridge was a “half penny”—hence the name.
The day was rounded out with dinner at the Church Cafe/Bar/Restaurant with an amazing live performance of traditional Irish Music and Dance.
Here are a few pictures from the day. Starting with the secret garden on our hotel property and ending at the hotel and everything in between.
