Dublin Day Three - On Tour

Day Three in Dublin.

We had another wonderful breakfast at the hotel and afterward met with Damien our host representative from Monograms. We were the only people on Monogram trips that day so we were the only two people with Damien in his little tour bus. We took a tour of the city with Damien and he was incredibly informative and entertaining. We had a great time and he drove us all over the city of Dublin and especially all around the old city where he showed us the best places to learn more about Irish history. He was very personable and really did know his city.

He gave us lots of tips as to what to see on our own and highly recommended taking the guided tour of Dublin Castle. He had an interesting story about the "black pool" which was where the Poddle Stream met the River Liffey and the name of Dublin comes from the Gaelic words for black pool... dubh linn.

Our tripped was booked with Monogram Tours through AAA and we get a tour host in each city who gives us a tour of the city and then is available at the hotel for questions. Damien was a wonderful tour host.

He dropped us off at the Guinness Storehouse where we had tickets for a noon tour.
