Saturday 23rd June Tralee to Dublin
Up early and off to watch the All Blacks v Ireland game back down at the
Pikemans Arms in Tralee, another 6 or so New Zealanders there, stayed until
half time when it became apparent they would win, then back to B&B for
breakfast. On the road to Dublin via Limerick, good motorway, though rained
most of the day.
Arrived at Trinity College in central Dublin about 3,30 pm, took about an
hour to find our way to accommodation office and get sorted in our room in
Goldsmiths Hall. Usual hall of residence room, quite small with bed, wardrobe
and drawers, desk and basin and shared shower, bit expensive for what it was. Lots
of security on campus,have to swipe card about 3 times on way into building. We
were too late to get into see Book of Kells as closed at 5 pm. Went out walking
in Dublin, not really a good place to be on a wet Saturday night as so many
people moving about in relatively small area, bit of a zoo, though we spent a
pleasant hour on the Stags Head pub. Cooked dinner from all left over veges in
our food bag back in the kitchen at the hall. Very noisy night both from
traffic noise from road 3 floors below ( think there was a problem with seal on
double glazed window) plus some ignorant and inconsiderate people in the
adjacent rooms who arrived back at 1.30 am and proceeded to go between rooms
leaving very heavy doors to slam behind them.
