May 30 Dublin

We had another late start to the day and after breakfast we went for a wander around the docklands area which is largely owned by Google and other tech companies. We then carried on up to Trinity College for a walk around the beautiful university. We had planned to look in the library but the old fella on the door told us it wasn't worth the the 25 euro entry fee and to go spend it on a Guinness. So we did.
