Route: Our B&B proprietor very kindly drove us to the train station, along with a German tourist who had been in town for the music festival. We arrived in Dublin and dropped off our bags in time for lunch, then wandered around waiting for museums to open (it was Sunday). We stopped by the Yeats museum, and spent an hour at the nifty National Museum, before meeting a friend of Samira's who got us into the Book of Kells exhibit at Trinity. We had Lebanese food for dinner, and then hung out in our very generous suite at Trinity, which had two bedrooms, a living room, and a fairly serviceable small kitchen. I seem not to have taken very many photos on day 9.
