Day 9: April 25, 2025
Today's journey took us to Dublin, where our day kicked off with a guided coach tour of the city centre with local guide Sean Finnegan. Along our way we took in the greenery of Phoenix Park, caught a glimpse of St Patrick's Cathedral, and finished up just outside Trinity College, Ireland's oldest university. There we viewed the Book of Kells and the Trinity Long Room, before heading out to Glasnevin cemetery, resting place of over 1.5 million people, including significant figures from Irish history such as Daniel O'Connell, Eamonn de Valera, and Michael Collins. Afterwards, we headed back into the city centre once more for some free time, before finishing up the night with dinner and a show at the Belvedere Hotel Irish Nights experience, where we were treated to traditional Irish music and dancing, with some of our group even getting invited up on the stage to join in the festivities!
