Day 3: March 23, 2024
Day 2 in Dublin and everyone is getting over their jet lag. We had a nice breakfast at the hotel and met our wonderful guide for the day, Caroline, a native of Dublin City. She showed us every part of Dublin and was fantastic!! At 12 we entered Trinity college to see the amazing Book of Kells, a book created by the monks which illustrates the 4 gospels, all made by hand and natural materials, each page would have taken 3 months to create and the book was saved from the Vikings and housed in Trinity. After lunch we went to Powers court Gardens, in the background you can see the sugar loaf mountains, such a beautiful area. We had our dinner in the Merchants Arch in Temple Bar..it was a great day..Tomorrow we go to Athlone to see a castle and we then onto Galway.
