Ireland - Day 2

We got off to a good start on Tuesday, day 2 - after sleeping in a bit of course. We stopped at a local bakery for tea, coffee and breakfast. It was fun just walking around, seeing the people and all the different markets. The weather wasn't too bad, in the 40's the entire week. Just right to wear a hat, gloves, scarf :) the only downside, it was a little bit damp. However, as the day went on, the sun came out.

We walked to the Cathedral Church of the Holy Trinity. I did go in, and you could pay €5 (5 euros) to take the tour, but I just asked to go in and say a prayer. It was beautiful inside. Very peaceful and calming. I said a prayer for all my family, friends, and for those I don't know. It would have been nice to take the full tour and to see and learn about all the different aspects of the cathedral, but that will be for next time.

After stopping to grab a quick bite for lunch, and something hot to drink to help warm us up - we continued on exploring Dublin...and what should we come across....the Jameson's Wiskey Distillers.

So what is the only thing to do....go in....take the tour...and enjoy a nice drink. The tour was actually very educational and we learned the differences between American Wiskey, Scotch Wiskey, and Irish Wiskey - it's how many times the wiskey is distilled 1, 2, or 3. Irish wiskey is distilled 3 times - increasing the alcohol content/potency.

It was then back to the hotel to pack up our Dublin purchases and our clothes and head off to the train station. Next stop ... Cork City!
