I had a great sleep so was ready to get out and about in Dublin. Nicola lives only 20 min walk from the city centre so I made my way in, visited the tourist information centre, then wandered around town to:
- Trinity College (will see Book of Kells when Olly is in town on the weekend)
- St Stephen's Green (beautiful park)
- outisde of the National Library, Museum and Leinster House
- Marco Pierre White's Steakhouse and Grill (didn't eat there but was tempted)
- had lunch at Davy Burns (yummy Irish food)
- Grafton St shopping area
- Dublin Castle
- Christchurch Cathedral
- St Patrick's Cathedral.
After all this siteseeing I was exhausted but still had the energy to walk back to Nicola's place.
As a "chillax", I took my computer down to one of the local pubs that had free wifi so I could catch up on emails and keep working on the blog, whilst consuming a couple of pints of Bulmers (apple cider). It went down really well!
I grabbed fish and chips for Nicola and I on the way back to her place and had a quiet night in. I mentioned to her that I was trying to coordinate a couple of friends to see Shakespeare performed at the Globe Theatre in London - Much Ado About Nothing is playing. She had it on dvd so we watched it.
