Back to Dublin!

Starting the morning in Kilkenny was wonderful. We walked up into town to grab some breakfast and shopping before catching the train into Dublin. This time we got smart though and bought seats on the train, which gets very crowded!! So we booked our seats for the 1:05 train to Dublin and headed out!

The train ride was about 90 minutes into Dublin and the train was packed. So much easier than driving!

Arriving into Dublin we went in search of a cab to get to our last hotel of the trip. We were booked at the Leonardo Hotel just outside of Temple Bar area. This is in a good location to get places but a bit shady on some side streets. We were right next to the giant spire too!

Only in Dublin. Cheap gas

Next we went out to explore the shopping area. Max found his Warhammer store and Seamus was hunting down Funko Pops. Joe and I hit up the Butler’s Chocolate store while the boys did their shopping. Very busy area!

We continued on our way to Temple Bar to find a place to eat. As usual it was packed and they were completing a lot of work on the roads so peoply is my best description!! We landed at a pub and the boys enjoyed pizza, me a salad and Joe some fish and chips. There was live entertainment and it was a great way to slow down and relax a bit before a day of sightseeing tomorrow!
