We took a tour of Trinity college today. The tour was followed by a look at the book of Kells – an extremely old, beautifully illustrated copy of the four gospels. Then we went to this great old hall.

Tonight was the last official night of the tour. The whole group got dressed up and went to Taylor’s Three Rock nightclub / Irish Show, where we ate really yummy food and saw a great show of Irish music and Irish dance. Then we all piled back into the coach and went into Dublin, where we went to a night club and danced the night away. I was essentially out all night, and it was a blast. An absolute blast.

Full day today! We left the manor house around nine – after an encounter with a cat – and went on to Cobh, which was a big port where a lot of ships left to cross the Atlantic during the famine. It was also the last port of call for the Titanic.
