Ireland Day 2 - Dublin

Ha'penny Bridge After sleeping for 12 hours, we got up and headed down to breakfast.  Breakfast was a choice of ordering off the menu or doing the buffet which was a traditional Irish Breakfast. We ordered off the menu. We both had Belgian waffles with bacon; the bacon was sandwich between two waffles.  The waffles were good but a but sweeter than what we get in the US. The waffles were supposed to come with a berry compote but only came with syrup, disappointing.  After breakfast we went back to the room to get ready to head out for the day. Our first stop for the day was Trinity College to see the Book of Kells and the long room of the library.   The ticket said it was a tour, but it really isn’t a tour, it is a self-paced walk through some information panels describing the history and making of the Book of Kells, then you walk into the room where the book is housed.   It is a book with fancy pages.   I saw it and can now check that off the list.  ...
