After five days in Galway, we snuck out to have a quick two days in Dublin before jetting off to London.
Dublin was an amazing town - vigorous, lively, music-filled. Aside from hitting all the pubs in Temple Bar, I managed to sneak in a visit to the Book of Kells at Trinity, toured Dublin Cathedral (met Joyce's infamous cat and rat) and the National Museum of History & Archaeology to visit the bogmen and the gold hoards. Enjoyed a pint at the end of the day in the the Brazen Head, Dublin's oldest pub, established in 1198.
