Day 2
Very rainy day! Didn't sleep super well cus there were people up and about until 3 am! Lots of drunk travelers.

We clocked one hour of walking and found that we walked about 3 miles every hour. We have been walking 10-12 miles everyday and boy do I feel it!! We went and visited the Marsh Library which was built in the 1700s by an archbishop. There are over 25000 books in the library! It was so neat to walk through! We then walked around some of the gorgeous cathedrals, Christ Church and St Patricks to name just two. 

We went a delicious vegetarian restaurant that was in an old mansion. It was sooooo yummy and the prices were totally reasonable! Then we walked around Dublin a bit more. We went back to the Avalon house, which is the first hostel we stayed at, and we went and hung out in at the Bald Barista which is right next to the hostel. 

I cannot even tell you how much I love Dublin. It's such an amazing city to be in. The grass is green everywhere and the are buds on the trees. There are so many daffodils everywhere and violets too and hyacinths and tulips and crocuses. (I have no idea if I spelt that right). Also on many street corners are crates and vases filled with gorgeous bouquets of flowers.

For breakfast we have been eating continental breakfast at the hostels which is usually cereal and toast and tea. For lunch and dinner we buy a few baguettes and some fresh mozzarella and some fruit. Its actually quite cheap to buy things from the grocery stores here.

We also stop for tea at least once a day. There is something so lovely about just sitting down to a scone and a cup of tea on the streets of Dublin. I love it here!

DAY 3

I wish I could put up pictures! I would love to add them to my blog. I will as soon as I can! It rained on and off today which wasn't to bad. We have learned that no matt what you don't leave without your rain jacket and an umbrella as it will rain whenever and where ever, but usually when you least expect it! We walked about 12 miles today and my feet and ankles and calves and knees and thighs and just everywhere are so tired and sore! We have been walking everywhere so that we don't have to take the bus and we can see more when we walk anyway. Oh and did I already say all the buses are double decker buses!? How cool is that?

We walked around z lot just admiring the buildings. A huge thing here is that most of the buildings are brick or stone but the doors are painted these brilliant bright bold colors. They are so beautiful and I want to take a picture of every one! We had tea and a scone at Honest to Goodness and then went to the Guinness Storehouse. It was massive and so interesting! The tour was fantastic! I do not like beer but we hade to do this tour because Guinness is HUGE here. At the end we got a free pint of beer but I hated it so didn't drink it! :)

We then walked back to our next hostel which was called the Abraham House. We walked down Henry Street to get there. This street is the biggest shopping street in all of Europe! It was a bit frightening with all the people but we made it safely!

DAY 4

We took a bus from Dublin to Drogheda today and then a taxi to Donore. We are now staying in the countryside for 3 nights at the Newgrange Lodge. It's mostly out in the middle of no where but we have access to free bikes and there are a lot of historical sites around that I cannot wait to see. It's very nice to have a day to rest my legs! Early to bed tonight!
