After a comfortable night on real beds,Our big Dublin day started with a walk to Trinity College for a guided visit including the Book of Kells. Well over 1000 years old, this was an impressive attract! Then enough academia, we headed to the quite new. Leprechaun Museum, a dubious destination that was ultimately excellent, a place that celebrates the oral history of Irish legends and the underworld mythic creatures that make Ireland magical. Don't mess with a fairy tree!

Then it was off to the Guiness Storehouse, as usual with some shopping along the way. The visit is "topped" with a trip to the Gravity Bar, where they pull a pint with style.
The walk had been long so when the rain greeted our exit we cabbed it back to our hostel for dinner in a pub down the way. This was followed by supper of birthday cake for Cassidy, with a second helping of Christine's and yes, there ARE four meals a day in Ireland!
