Day in Dublin


What a great day! We saw the Book of Kells at Trinity College, which was amazing, then went upstairs to the Old Library (incredible); the exhibit now is Medieval texts. From there we walked to the tourist office which is in a very old church with beautiful stained glass windows; we were having tea upstairs in Finn MacCools Cafe when an impromptu choral concert started on the balcony at the other end!
Visited the Guinness Storehouse; at the top they have the Gravity Bar, - it's glass and has a fabulous 360 degree view of the city! We were enjoying our complimentary draft when a men's choir from Denmark started singing right beside us; they were good!
We carried on with our City Bus Tour (hop on and off) and now are back to where we started, resting up for the Literary pub crawl which starts soon. We go to four pubs and actors recite famous Irish writers works.
