Dublin
The Jaguars are having an adventure! Jejeje! We took the train to Holyhead to catch the ferry to Dublin on Friday but upon arrival found out that all the ferrys were full because the bad weather caused the cancellation of some sailings. The next one was to be at 2 a.m. getting into Dublin at 6 a.m. Not to be deterred, we went back to Bangor, had naps and supper and set out again, caught the 2 a.m. ferry and found our lodgings. Our place is a fair ways from the city centre but within walking distance although some are finding easier than others. Went to church at the Anglican Cathedral this morning, a beautiful service, and had coffee afterwards in the crypt among tombstones and memorials. Saw a couple of museums and yesterday went to Trinity College to see the Book of Kells. All great. Weather is cold and a bit rainy, but nothing stops us.
Jude thanks for the laptop, it is very handy although we don't have wireless in our B&B. Back to Bangor tomorrow then the next leg begins.

Glad that the laptop is working out, though I was a little concerned about wireless in the pub. Seems like blogging and beer might be a dangerous combination.
Coffee in a crypt? Bit lugubrious, isn't it?
How was the service at the Catheral? Coffee in a crypt sounds pretty cool too...
The service was good. There was a choir which did most of the singing but they let us sing a couple of hymns. The archbishop gave the sermon. It was really good sitting in that beautiful building listening to the choir, not that I would want it every Sunday.
