Day 23 & 24 - heading home

Spent yesterday looking around Dublin again. Spent a bit of time at Kilmainham gaol. Another interesting place. Had breakfast/lunch at the Patriots Inn across from the gaol, delicious food and a Beamish! My third Beamish and I must admit I quite like it! I will miss it when I am home! Caught a bus up to Glesnevin Cemetry where Michael Collins is buried as well as the guys who were executed in Kilmainham gaol. They had been put into one grave as they weren't allowed to be given to their families for a proper burial but there is now a memorial to them. Fascinating place, could have spent hours there. Went to Guinnessw  Storehouse but queue was a mile long, it was going to cost us €25 each  and at least 45 mins so just decided to find another pub and have a Guinness there! Back to motel and up later this morning., packed up. Managed to get all the pressies into the suitcases and still be under 30kgs! Back into Dublin and just wandered around. We were going to go to the movies but nothing on so headed off to Temple Bar, don't know how we missed this area when we have been exploring Dublin, it was great, very vibrant. Then we sat on one of the bridges and ate our sandwich. Looked around and there in front of us was Lanigans, the pub Pam, Vernon, Cath, John and Deb all went into for a drink. So had to follow tradition and have one as well. What a weird pub, full of all of these things hanging from the ceiling, but great atmosphere. Thank God we weren't thrown out just for knowing this lot! At the airport now, waiting to come home. We have had the best time but I am feeling quite homesick and looking forward to seeing my family again. I'm sure they are looking forward to seeing us as well and it has nothing to do with presents! Again problems with photos so will just have to show them when we get home!
