Lynam's Hotel in the City Center of Dublin, Ireland. We flew out of Leeds late Thursday night and spent the night in Dublin. We crammed in as much as we could in Dublin before 10:45am Friday morning.
Our hotel was a nice place with a good Irish breakfast.
Ben hanging out with our backpackers backpack on and his personal backpack. I had my small backpack as well. This is how we cruised quickly around Dublin. This is a busy street in the city center.
The Spire. I don't know why it's there, but it just sticks out of the ground in the middle of town. Our hotel was actually a few yards from the spire.
Dublin Castle was unique in that it was in the middle of town. The town has continued to build around it.
Part of the castle is painted bright colors. It looks neat, but detracts from the historical element.
We hurried over to St. Patrick's Cathedral. Great architecture. St. Patrick is said to have baptized the first Irish believers on these grounds in the 5th century.
We passed by St. Stephen's Green. It was a beautiful park and a beautiful day to be there.
The grass was so green and the flowers were starting to bloom.
This is a unique bridge, now Ben's favorite, in the middle of Dublin.After our quick tour, we took a 2.5 hour bus down to Wexford on the Southeast coast.
