We had an early start today, first our last full Irish breakfast, in the dining room which was quite elegant and a contrast to the rest of the house we had seen, the food was enjoyable.
We then set off to explore Dublin, we found a carpark attached to a department store Arnotts which we had never heard of before and surprise surprise there was a Pandora charm section where we found a shamrock one, for Janes bracelet. Then on to O Connel Street, which is one of the well known places in Dublin, but is no longer as I remembered. I said we should walk to the river Liffey further up as again its one of the sights of Dublin.
Instead we saw a sign for the Leprechaun museum and decided to visit there, well first problem was further down the street there was no further signs ( maybe a warning) but a helpful man assisted us and we paid and went in, it was wonderful to learn the truth about them, it was fantastic to be told so well about Irelands other inhabitants, Jane was happy to join in particularily climbing at great risk onto the giants chair, it wad a fitting end to our trip. We did see the Liffy but again sadly there was nothing magic about it, so back to the car and a trip to the docks to board the boat.
It was not very full of passengers and we ate before setting sail, guess what a huge portion on CARROT CAKE, then I must of looked underfed by the size of the portion of meat pie on my plate, even I could not win this time. Finally time for a rest, it was peaceful and quiet in the lounge. Soon it will be time for our last meal and trip home.
