Day 5 - Dublin, Ireland!

Today we go to Ireland!

Once again, we packed up all of our luggage and traveled the trains to the London-Gatwick airport. The trip over to Dublin was quite delightful. Of course, I made a new friend on the airplane. And we chatted nearly the whole flight.

Once we arrived in Dublin, we got on the bus and traveled to Dublin City Centre. Of course, we were soooo close to getting it right on the first try. We walked the city centre and walked across the River Liffey and walked the length of the Temple Bar district and finally arrived at our Hotel.

After setting our luggage down, we headed back out to find the Guinness Storehouse and Brewery. We got to Guinness just in time. We went on the self-guided tour, tried a little bit of Guinness, and had a Coca-cola in the 7th floor Guinness lounge :)

Once we left the Guinness Storehouse, we headed back near our hotel to find dinner. We actually at a place that was a connected to our hotel. The dinner was awesome! Especially, after a long journey around town.

That night we headed back out to the Temple Bar district and enjoyed the night life of Dublin.
