2nd DAY: Dublin

                                        Dublin! 


          So the next day, we visited the great Dublin city and we were fortunate to be able to have a very nice guide, who showed us the city, some doors and a suspicious Oscar Wilde sitting on a rock.

          Then we visited the Trinity college and its great and stunning library that includes the Book of Kells. The moment we stepped into the library, it would seem like if we were in a movie,
It was exactly what anybody would image under the word library.. 
The Book of Kells was created by Celtic monks around the 9th century and is named after the Abbey Kells, were it used to be .
          Trinity college is perhaps the most famous university in Ireland, it's a very prestigious college, so we found our self lucky to even have the chance to visit it.
     
          After the visit, we had some time to get something to eat. The driver, John, let us at the Grafton Street, and everybody went wondering in the streets, searching for a place were they could get something to eat that wouldn't cost a fortune, because to be honest Ireland isn't the cheapest country.. 




         Then we went to visit the Guinness storehouse. 
The Guinness brewery was founded in 1759 at the St-Jame's Gate in Dublin, Ireland by Arthur Guinness. 
The Guinness storehouse on the other hand opened in 2000 and is located at the same place as the old brewery..







Guinness is an Irish dark beer, very tasty. 
The Guinness storehouse is very well structured. Every visitor is able to see how beer is made, every single step of the way.
We were able to see the ingredients used for the making of the beer, and even try serving our own glass of beer. 

         The Guinness storehouse have 5 circular floors. The walls are decorated with old advertising posters, that can later be purchased at the gift shop.

         It was a very interesting visit, and we most certainly enjoyed our day!
