So far today has been pretty disappointing. The plan was first to check out the National Museum. After navigating my way there in the rain, I found out it was shut on Mondays. So due to my own under-researching I was left with not much to do. And the weather was MISERABLE. (As one would expect from Ireland.) I am embarrassed to admit it, but I actually ended up on a bus tour. I wanted to get out and explore the city but in bad weather by myself badly researched I didn't know where to go. The tour was interesting enough and I did learn a few things about the city, but it was overpriced and I would have preferred a Sandeman's tour had there been one. I did get to see Trinity College, Ireland's smallest pub, the Guinness stockhouse, Wellington Monument, and St. Patrick's cathedral amongst other things. From my bus. I'm off to dinner tonight with Tim and Mik again (I could totally go a nice stew or pie - now I know why they enjoy hot heavy bland meals!)
Last night ended up being terrific though! We went to a pub with live Irish music and dancing, which I really enjoyed. None of my photos of the dancers came out nearly well enough :( and the music made a great atmosphere with everyone clapping along.
Flying back to Germany tomorrow. I'm a little bit disappointed with Dublin - not the city itself, which I quite like - I just havn't had the best time here and I was really looking forward to it. I guess I've learned my lesson and I'll plan better next time.
Ciao
