Off to Dublin

Today we left Cork and headed to Dublin.  We made it back down the hill and to the train station for our trip.  Our train trip was about 2 hours.  We met Nicolleteon the train, she was coming back from a wakeboard competition in Cork.  Wake boarding in wakeboard parks seems to be hitting it big in Ireland  right now.  She also does some photography  and had a blog which we looked at.  She is a Canon user but I didn't hold it against her...

We arrived at Heuston station In Dublin and hopped In a cab to to the  Shelbourne Hotel.  This is the way we would travel all the time if we could..although the it is a Renaissance hotel so we did have a good rate.  As we were checking in my my walks up and says this is my friend form Yoga..I am very confused..you mean Yoga in Delaware...how random- She was staying at the same Hotel!  The hotel was really nice.  We arrive on a Sunday so there was a Jazz Brunch and Afternoon Tea happening.  Both looked Very fancy.

We decided to hop on the bus tour and do a round just to get acquainted with the city and to help decide what we want to do tomorrow.  It was quite chilly but we sat on the top of the open double decker bus anyway,..crazy tourists...

We hopped off at the Temple Bar area to find some lunch and explore.  Greatly lively  area with lots of bars and restaurants and lots of love music.  We stopped for a bit to eat, mom says it was her best meal of the trip! I will have to find the name later.

We walked back to the hotel for some rest.  We rested for a bit and then Wayne and I headed out for a drink and music.  We had worn mom Out at this point, plus it was chilly.  We headed back to the Temple Bar area and ended up at "The Temple Bar".  Great live Irish music being played.  We were able to great a few seats so this was our spot.  We hung out for a bit then Headed back to the hotel.  As we left the bar it started raining... We were drowned rats by the time we got back to the Hotel..not the look the shelbourne is used to I am sure.  Off to bed to rest for tomorrow adventure.
