I have to leave soon :(

This is just a quick post to point out that I'll be leaving Dublin in a matter of hours. I'm quite sad about this because I've had such a good time here. I'll definitely be coming back. I've put a brief summary of the last 4 days here. If I went into detail, this post would go on for ages. I'll add photos soon.

Saturday:

* It was decided the night before that we would sleep in (a.k.a. "sleep out")
* Nice big breakfast
* We went to the museum to see the "bog bodies" exhibition
* We went to a book shop and to toy shops (so Cormac and Susan could get a birthday present for their nephew)
* We got pizza for dinner
* We went to the pub, where I had two half pints of Guinness. Half a pint at a time is a good amount for me while I'm still learning!

Sunday:

* Another sleep in (out)
* We went for a late breakfast at a cafe near Cormac and Susan's place with friends of theirs, Fiona and John. John is starring in a Guinness ad.
* We went south of Dublin, to the beach, and then we went to a pub.
* While the guys stayed in the pub watching the hurling match on the big screen TV (rather than England's world cup match which was on at the same time), the girls went for a wander around the town.

Monday:

* I went on a tour of Trinity College, which included seeing the Book of Kells.
* I had planned to go on a walking tour of sites significant in the 1916 rising, but as I was one of only two people to show up for the tour, it didn't go ahead. Poor form!
* Instead, I went to Dublin Castle, where I hoped to go on a tour, but the tours were booked out until the afternoon.
* I went to St Patrick's Cathedral and looked around there for a while.
* I then walked over to the north side of town to St Michan's church to see the mummies in one of their vaults.
