Day 6: Dublin continued and the journey home (well, to Reading)

On Tuesday, our ferry back to England was scheduled to leave at noon, so we had a few hours in the morning to roam around. We went to Trinity College, as well as a beautiful park not far away, and saw one or two other things.

Here is the entrance to Trinity College.


This is part of the central green area.


Next, here is my sister snooping around.


This is a nifty sculpture (kind of reminds me of the chestburster from Alien)


Best. Sign. Ever. Need I say more?


Next, is a picture of my mother taken with Molly Malone.


We then continued on to Saint Stephen's Green Park.


There are pretty flowers surrounding a pretty rock.


And look! A picture of me! I bet some of you had forgotten what I look like.


"C D E-D B-D ducks?" "M aren't ducks!" "S M R! C D E-D B-D wings?" "L I'll B! M R ducks!"


Isn't it a pretty place?


I just had to take a picture of this place.

Cool statue.


That about sums up our stay in Ireland. We took Irish Ferries to Holyhead, and it wasn't as pleasant as the ferry from Fishguard. It probably didn't help that it was full of rowdy Irish football fans, or that it was smaller than the other ferry; although faster, it just wasn't as enjoyable. Plus, at the end of the ride, they kept giving us contradictory orders about where to disembark, and none of the crew seemed to speak English. At any rate, we made it back safely to Reading, which would be our base of operations for the rest of our stay in England.
