Just thought I'd make a quick post from here in Dublin tonight before we head off for some well deserved sleep. We arrived safely and immigration actually let us in the country! It was raining as we arrived but quickly stopped and made us very happy.
We met a very chatty taxi driver who had us all in stitches on the ride into Dublin. He's going to pick us up on Friday and take us to the car rental place. I guess I should mention, he's not bad looking either. ;) Oh, those Irish men!
Got settled in our hotel and walked around today. They were no ready for us to check in, so we dropped out luggage and wandered off to Temple Bar for lunch.
Checked out Trinity College and the River Liffey with the Ha' Penny Bridge. Walked over to Temple Bar and made reservations at Gallagher's Boxty House for dinner. Getting the feel of the city. Also stopped by the tourist office, in an old converted church, and bought our tickets for the Hop-on-Hop-off tour tomorrow. Perused a few souvenirs, picked up a couple of postcards and enjoyed the beautiful weather. Been taking lots of pictures. Will probably not post for a couple of days as our touring will take up most of the time along with busy evenings.
I can't tell you how happy I was to find a Net Cafe close to the hotel.
Back in a few days...
