Ireland: Killarney to Mallow to Dublin, and in Dublin (part 2)

2:58 pm, Dublin (at a hotel)

We arrived in Dublin a bit early, I think. I pulled my suitcase out into the terminal, got a chicken, cheese, and stuffing panini, and then hopped on the tram for a €1.50 ride to Abbey Street, less than two blocks from my hotel.  Makes me look forward to when our light rail in Seattle will be done, next year.  I’ll be able to catch a bus less than a block from the house, switch to the tram after about a 5 minute ride, and then take a 20 minute ride right to the airport. It will take a bit longer (and take more timing) than just getting in the car, but it will generally be quite convenient.

I’m going to go out for a bit and wander O’Connell Street, and probably down to Forbidden Planet. I expect to hit both Guinness Storehouse and the National Museum (for the Viking exhibit) tomorrow.
