Ireland!!!  We left the hotel early for our 9:50am flight to Dublin. We went through customs then had breakfast at a cafe in Heathrow terminal 2.  The flight only took an hour so we had the afternoon in Dublin. We picked up our hire car and, guess what, we were upgraded to the same type of car we had in the UK. It was a Nissan Qashqai just without all the bells and whistles like GPS and parking sensors we had on the last car. This one was brand new – 10kms on the clock! We went first to the hotel then onto a hop on hop off sight seeing bus. We went to see Trinity college and the Book of Kells. The book was made by monks in the 9th century. There was also a very old library from the 17th century that has the books organised in size order! We had dinner at the hotel pub which also had some live Irish music – I gave Mum and Dad a 10.30 curfew and we went up to our room early!
