Day 1- Arrive in Dublin 5:30 am

After Landing, we met our tour guide David who showed us a few sites on our way to our hotel. We dropped off our luggage and got ready to go for a walk around the center of Dublin. We took a public double decker bus into town, which looks pretty scary when you sit in the first row on the second level.

We saw a lot of historical buildings and statues like the post office which still has bullet wholes from the battles many years ago, the Declaration of Freedom, and the Molly Mallone statue which is said to be haunted. After that we walked up and down Graffton Street which is like a small shopping district. It was nice because they had a bunch of souvenir shops and places to eat.


After that we went back to the hotel I took a much needed nap. Then I got up, showered, and headed for the pub in the lobby. I ordered Guinness, which tasted so much better than I had anticipated. Then we went on another small walking tour through temple bar and went to dinner. I talked a bunch of the kids into doing car bombs. Then we ended the night by going to a few bars in the Temple Bar area which was a lot of fun. I was really excited for the next day to come.
