Day 3 Dublin

Breakfast was our mission on our way to the museum this morning, we stopped at a Spar I believe and they have a make your own sandwich booth like Subway, for €4 you got a full baguette with a bag of tatyo chips and a can of pop. Danny and I split the greasiest breakfast an Ulster fry on a baguette. You only live once! The shop even had a Tim Horton's machine, a little taste of home in advance.

Our two day hop on hop off tour bus ticket have now expired so we decided to walk our way over to the Natural History Museum so I can finally have a taste of Irish history. When we arrived the sign states MONDAY CLOSED...how did we miss that? This is the third time that we have been here, I guess it isn't meant to be after all. From here we walked around to the other museum, the National Gallery.
Fighting a 5 headed Hydra, did he drink Guinness I think so. 

Danny and I got creative in the arts corner, here are our pictures. Can you guess which ones we did?
Where we saw Jack Keats numerous sketch books and, statues, European paintings and trolled through the huge gift shop.
St. Patricks
I was thinking about heading to the other museums in the area but the one that was nearest was the archeology museum, which Danny didn't fancy going in. We skipped it and headed down towards the many famous churches of Dublin. First we went to St. Patrick's Cathedral  then over to Christchurch. Both which had an entrance fee. Since it was our last leg of our stay in Dublin and didn't have many Euros left we didn't pay the entrance fee and just wandered around both buildings.
Christchurch.


























It was time to hop on the evening train back to Belfast and then another train to Antrim to be reunited with our dear friend Gemma.
