Newgrange

Donore was the nearest I could get on this map... OK, Newgrange is a World Heritage Site, think of it as Ireland's Stonehenge. Its a huge artificial mound, with a chamber inside which is wonderfully lit up only for a few days around the solstice (for which there is a lottery to get in and see...

just passing through...

I had planned today to look at the book of Kells in Trinity College, but the queue was massive, so I went straight by train to Howth.

More in Dublin

By this time, I was running out of days to do Dublin before I had to move on to the walking part of the trip. I started off by doing the rest of the National Museum. There aren't enough superlatives, really. If only the British Museum was this good. After that, I crossed the river and...

The Royal Canal

I felt like a change from all that urban stuff, so I took a train out to Maynooth, to the West, with the intention of walking back along the Royal Canal, whcih the guide books recommend. Maynooth is a pleasant small town. It has a rather posh looking public school, Geraldine Castle, which was...

Carry on up the Liffey

The bug seemed to have passed a bit, so I decided on a walk up the Liffey for today. I started off, but then decided on an Irish breakfast. This turned out to be ok, but a bit meat-heavy. I'm a bit dubious about white pudding: kind of like sausage meat, and not what I want for breakfast....

Tuesday is archaeology day

Tuesday was the day I got a bug as well... Anyway, I found out today that my roommate was a French girl called Stephanie. She was meant to have come with her boyfriend, but he had discovered at the last minute his passport was out of date. A lesson for us all there... I headed South across...

a little bit of Dublin

Dublin at last! I arrived at Dun Laorigh which is just at the southern extreme, and had to catch a DART train into the centre. It's a scenic trip along the coast: I hadn't really realised Dublin had so many sandy beaches. The centre of Dublin, near to the main rail station, is ugly, noisy and...
