Back in Dublin! We stayed in an apartment across the river from Temple Bar so we were in a prime location. Unfortunately my mum got a bit turned around in the city 'cause the bus driver from the airport told her to get off near Trinity College. She ended up wandering around the city for a couple of hours with her pack on before she made it to where we were staying. She was so exhausted and pathetic looking that we just had a chill day and went out for dinner down the street.
We still had 2 full days to see all the sights. We went to Pheonix Park, the Dublina, and St. Patrick's Cathedral. We thought about going to Jameson Distillery but there was a heck of a long wait so we decided to walk through the Temple Bar area instead.
I tried to take them to the Dead Zoo but most of the museums are closed on Mondays which was unexpected. It just meant a change of plans was in order so we went to Merrion Park and saw the Oscar Wilde statue and we went to St. Stephen's Green. We even walked through Trinity College and were going to see the Book of Kells ('cause my dad was going to pay) but the queue was crazy long.
And then Ally came!! And it was her 21st!!! Unfortunately she felt a bit ill so we just grabbed a bite to eat at Fagan's and then listened to Irish music in a pub 'till 12. Not a half bad day.
