The convention would start on Thursday, so on Wednesday we had time for some sightseeing.

First we found a place to have breakfast.
I had hot chocolate and an egg sandwich.

Then we walked towards the city center.
We spotted a couple of beautiful churches along the way.


We found St. Stephen's Green.
It's a park in the center of the city. We had to explore it of course.



This statue is called famine and I think it's in remembrance of the big Potato Famine in the Nineteenth Century (1845-1850)
After visiting the park we went in search for Trinity College, because we wanted to see the library and the book of Kells.

I spotted this statue of a guy named Baron Plunket!

We found Trinity College and sat down for a drink. There was a really long line of people wanted to get tickets to see the book of Kells. Luckily we got tickets online.

Cool owl sign!

There was a exhibition on the book of Kells.
This shows how people used quills to write in the past.

An old book.
Not the book of Kells though.

I found information about animals in the book of Kells!
We weren't allowed to take pictures of the book of Kells, because if someone would use a flash it might damage the book.
The book is a masterwork of Western calligraphy and from the early ninth century. It's very beautiful!

Next we got to see the library of Trinity College.
It was really beautiful and impressive.



I wouldn't mind having a library like this.


Another Plunket!
I wonder if he's the same Plunket or a relative.
Coming next: More sightseeing
