After our visit to Trinity College we did some more sightseeing.
We found the Liffey.
It's a river that runs through the center of Dublin.
This seagull was looking for chips he could steal.
For lunch we had a cheese platter and I got to drink a really nice dry cider.
Next we visited Dublin Castle.
A cool gate.
Let's see what that gate is about.
It was sunny, but cloudy.
That did make for some cool pictures though.
This tower is all that is left of the 'real' Dublin Castle. Everything around it is much more modern.
More modern than the tower that is.
A view at the tower from the other side of the building.
And from afar.
An Irish dude who may or may not have been drunk told me queen Victoria stayed in Dublin Castle and was annoyed that somebody else was more popular than she was.
On our way back to the cottage we saw Saint Patrick's Cathedral.
The clouds made it look extra impressive.
We spotted a building with all kinds of quotes by Irish authors.
I just had to pose with this great quote by Oscar Wilde.
After a short rest at the cottage we went to a pub for:
Cider!
It was funny to see that they have the same kind of cider in Dublin as we have in the Netherlands. Only the name is different. In the Netherlands it's called Apple Bandit, while in Ireland it's called Orchard Thieves.
And we had chicken strips with chips!
It was yummy and the pub where we ate was really fun
On our way back to the cottage we visited a grocery store and I bought several really yummy ciders.
