Docked off Dun Laoghaire (it's pronounced dun leery), this morning and we took the tender to shore, followed by a bus into the centre of Dublin.
We started out with a tour of Trinity College which included a visit to their library to see the Book of Kells. Also in the long room of the library was an artwork called Gaia, which was a sort of suspended globe thing.
After Trinity we walked along the river and saw Leinster House and Dublin Castle and did a whole load of gift shopping, including buying each other birthday presents.
We had a very nice pub lunch at a place called Kennedys before heading back to the ship mid afternoon.
Back onboard we discovered that they had left us a chocolate cake and a bottle of bubbly in the room for Becky's birthday (only a day late). I wonder if we'll get another round in a couple of days for my birthday?
