Started out in the rain, passing by Clocmacnoise as we had already visited Glendalough. And it was still raining as we headed East towards Dublin. We didn't start early either, having a relaxed morning with our lovely hosts.
We arrived at Trim Castle, the grandest and most impt of the Norman Castles in the Boyne Valley and had great guided tour. then we went over hill and dale to find Bru na Boinne, a burial/worship site older than the pyramids at Giza. Very interesting. Then it was time to find our hotel, not far from the airport in Dublin. Incredibly huge resort hotel. Great beds and room but we only got 4 hours sleep. Early morning, and very tough time finding the restaurant for dinner. Oh well
