Arrived safe in Dublin. With a delayed flight to Newark, we boarded the plane almost as soon as we landed. I popped two Dramamine and turned into the drooling boy - sure that if there was a person on that flight who wanted to sell my liver on the black market they missed thier prime opportunity.
Good news - Both Andrea and Myself had luggage that stowed nicely in the overhead compartment! This being a huge relief.
When we landed it was off to the hostel to drop our stuff off, pay up, maybe get our bunk. However, as one would have it in hostel land - our beds were not ready -as planned. We Left gear ina large room and hit the city around 11:00. First we ate - Fish and Chips while sitting on the lawn at a a nearby cathedral, then off to Guinness storehouse for a tour and a beer, and finally to see the old Dublin (The Castle and College).
Needless to say, arriving to get our beds at 7:30 pm was a much needed rest. Andrea is now asleep and both of us still contemplating whether or not we go out on the town tonight or stay it off inside. Both sound so tempting that it looks like we will be trying to decide what to do tonight all the way till morning.
So untill morning....
We are safe and well... and already drinking beer -
CHEERS!
