Dublin Day 1 - Getting there is half the fun!

We are on our way to Dublin!!

On the plane leaving Rome, Stu is enjoying the all essential morning "beverage".


Flying over the mountains in France.


Our hotel was fantastic!  The Trinity Capital Hotel is really close to everything, and a great price!


The room is just beautiful and……

 

the bed was very un-European...  it was comfortable!


After reading the weather reports for a week and everyday threatened rain...it turned out to be a beautiful day!

We got all check in and headed right back out in search of some pub grub, and we did pretty good. We went to O’Donoghue’s and tried the traditional fare.


Our first pint of the trip...but not the last!


And what else would we eat but Irish Stew and ...


Fish and chips!


Working our way back to the hotel we ran in to Molly Malone.  The celebrated “cockles and mussels” street trader from the traditional Irish folk song, also known as the “Tart with the Cart”.


There are, as you can imagine, pubs on every corner with little pearls for wisdom posted on the outside.
