Today we began the day with a traditional English Breakfast... yum!! Which filled us sufficiently... then we headed into town which is just a 10 minute walk.
Along the way we found a McDonalds restaurant which had a McCafe and the lattes tasted just like Maccas at Menai, but they don't have many McCafes in England, actually I don't think they have any.... and hopped onto a open top bus which took us around the whole of Dublin. Of course one of the first stops was at the Guiness Factory...
but don't worry it was just the Guiness Shop.
From here we headed across town to the Kilmainham Jail... This is a real famous Jail and you can read about it here: http://www.heritageireland.ie/en/HistoricSites/DublinArea/KilmainhamGaolDublin/
Di and I were able to spean a load of time here and check it out. Actually a few movies had been filmed here. "Michael Collins" and "In the name of the Father" were shot here. Here's us in the cell area which some of you may recognise from those movies.
Then after our trip to the jail we got back on the bus and headed to down town Dublin to visit the sites... before heading back to our place to sleep before we went out that night for dinner... at a really great iitalian restaurant directly opposite the Temple Bar pub. Then it was home to bed as we had another big day of site seeing tomorrow.
