Dublin, Ireland

Day 59-Dublin, Ireland

Ireland is slightly larger than West Virginia and has a population of 4 million. The Currency is the Euro a little better for us than the Pound. Today we decided to walk into the town. It was about a 2 mile walk in to the City Center. Randy and I spent a few days in Dublin a couple of years ago and the weather was rainy. We were luck today because we had a nice sunny day. We walked in along the River Liffey. We walked by The Revolver Dublin's big Ferris wheel also known as, The O2 Dublin Eye. Since we had taken the Hop of Hop on bus last visit we decided to walk around the Trinity College area. On the way we stopped at St. Andrew Church and St Marks We stopped at the Westin were we stayed before and had coffee and used their Wi-Fi. After our rest stop we headed to Temple Bar area, Grafton St. As the day progressed the streets got more crowded and then we had to power walk back as we did not think about a taxi and we had spent all of our Euro's on Souvenirs. I was a little panicked as it was crowed in the streets and we had to be back at 3pm. Well we made it back at exactly 3 pm to close for my comfort, but we were not the last ones back. Our next Stop Cobh, Ireland.
