Galway to Dublin

28th August
Galway to Dublin
Today has been a very simple day - we left Galway soon after 9am and drove the 200k to Dublin. We returned the hire car and arrived back to the Arlington Temple Bar Hotel at noon. We had a bit of a walk around until our room was ready at 2pm. Not much to see - we walked to the new Guiness building and then walked back. We sorted through our cases and took most of the contents to the laundrette. I then spent a couple of hours ironing and re-packing the cases. Clean clothes - YAY. A nice meal out and then back to the Arlington to hear their evening show of traditional music followed by some Irish dancing with a glass of guiness in one hand. It was very enjoyable.
We have really enjoyed our two weeks touring the Republic of Ireland. The highlights, for me, were the Ring of Kerry, the Cliffs of Moher and definitely the Aran Islands as far as scenery goes - the other highlight has been the Irish people we have met along the way. They have all been so friendly and welcoming.
So tomorrow off to London...the story continues..with clean clothes...
