Trinity College, the old library and the Book of Kells a 9th Century manuscript of the gospels. They have 20,000 books they have just started to restore.
We did the Guinness Factory tour which was pretty good.
Had lunch at a very dimly lit Irish Restaurant. Design your own hamburgers or salad or sandwiches. Not sure what it was all about but it was nice.
At 3pm we started off on our Rural Pub tour with Shane as our guide. 6 pubs and dinner in the Wicklow mountains. Unbelievably good fun. Everyone knew Shane and welcomed us all into their pubs. The Cartoon Pub had cartoons on the wall from an old Disney cartoonist who did them instead of paying for his drinks. Next was the Phelan general store! We had local Guinness, local cider (pear, apple or berry), local lemonade OR local whisky at each of them. Jimmy Fox's had live professional musicians and a Celtic dance show. At the Maclure we had a wonderful venison dinner. The blue light had an impromptu jam session with anyone who wanted to jumping up and singing anything. Excellent, relaxed and very friendly.
