leaving Kilkenny and heading back to Dublin

Nicola’s husband, Eamonn prepared our breakfast for us.  Besides being in the kitchen cooking, he was watching their three small children.

We got on the road by 9:30am and made it back to the Dublin Airport right at 11:00am to turn in our rental car.  We used Dan Dooley Rental and would recommend them.  We took the AirCoach bus to the city centre and got off at Lower Leeson Street and St. Stephens Green and walked a couple of blocks back to Harrington Hall.  We have the same room we stayed in our first night in Dublin; Room #16.  Once we dropped off our bags in the room, we headed out to walk around Grafton Street and look for a place to eat.  Found a place in Temple Bar to eat.  After our meal, Emma found a pastry shop and picked out a couple of tarts to take back to the room and Jessica and I walked over to Trinity College to see if you could still get in to see the Book of Kells.
