This is my last trip before I make the long flight home! This time we landed in Dublin! After a day of travel on Tuesday, we made it to the city! We checked out our hostel and the surrounding area for the following days before crashing for the night. We managed to spot the Temple Bar, not far from where we stayed!
Our first full day began with a visit to Trinity College, where we thought we were on a tour of the college, but accidentally joined a paid tour for about 5 minutes! Whoops! We wandered around and found the bookstore and the Book of Kells - a must see! We then had lunch at a pub called Cassidy's which is apparently owned by the relatives of Bill Clinton! Who knew? In the afternoon we hiked it over to the Guinness Storehouse for a tour! It was a 7 story building with a glass bar at the top! I learned way too much about beer, but got a free pint out of the deal! 
Not bad, but I was the only one to finish ~ you don't let beer like that go to waste ;)

Day 2 was our shopping day! We went to a couple cheap stores and then walked through Clery's and Co. - the oldest store in Dublin! In the afternoon we ventured by bus to Dun Laoghaire,
a place from the book P.S. I Love You, but there wasn't too much to see and we ended up bumming around taking random pictures. That night we hit up our 7th and final Hard Rock Cafe of the whole semester! Later we hit up a night club called the Think Tank and had a great time!!
Day 3 started a little slow and we saw the landmarks of Dublin. First stop Dublin Castle, then St. Patrick's Cathedral, Christ Church Cathedral,
and finally Old Jameson Distillery! 
We went to Murray's pub for supper and some last minute music!
The next morning we were off and back to Lillehammer before sundown, which I must admit is about 11:00pm here!
