We wake to another beautiful day but no time for relaxing. The men have persuaded me that we need to skip Cork and head back to Dublin. I hit the netbook searching for internet and trying to change/cancel reservations. Disappointed, yes a little, but after Sean excused himself from breakfast it was a no brainer.
Guy and I take a short stroll around Clonmel to say good-by and wearily we climb back into our suitcase size car and hit the road. To say Sean was a little under the weather is putting it mildly and my mother instinct tells me that a down day in Dublin for him is the best medicine.
I am cruising at 140kph when we encounter signs that tell us the highway is closed. Now I am meandering yet again on roads with "acute bends" and experiencing small village life in Ireland. Beautiful yes, but added significant time to our drive.
We find our hotel in Dublin (couldn't face the place we stayed on our first night) with little trouble. We are directly across from Christ Church,(see the link) http://cccdub.ie/, they ask if we would like a room with a view of the church, enthusiastically I say "yes"! I have forgotten that Churches have bells! Sean and I decide to take a nap and Guy goes to explore a new area of Dublin. I wake with an itch for a walk and meet Guy, by chance, about a block from the hotel.
The church starts it's afternoon concert, about 3 hours, sounds like the same song over and over again, and I look at Sean's face...he has a church behind his dorm, clearly this is not an experience he will want to repeat any time soon.
After dinner, Mexican this time, I have some amazing Mayan pork, we head back to our room for an all, "CLINT EASTWOOD" night of movies.
A good nights sleep to prepare for another big day in Dublin.
