Dublin

Our second day in Dublin.  We visited Dublin Castle, Christ Chapel, including a museum of Dublin from the Viking age through the Middle Ages up until the reformation.  Our last stop was the Guinness Storehouse, that concluded with a visit to the sky bar on the top floor, with views great views of Dublin.  We had dinner at the oldest pub in Dublin, the Brazen Head. 
Sandy and Molly Malone on the streets of Dublin!
Into The Dublin Castle - Built by the English in the 1500s
The one remaining original tower has the "King's chapel" attached to it

Christ Church was founded in 1030 - the original was burnt.  The curent building dates from the 1500's

Olaf the White was the Norweigan King of the new city of Dublin (841) -
maybe Sandy is related???

Just in case the Irish rebel I needed to practice up abit

Guinness is not really on Tom's diet - but we are at the Guinness warehouse!

Maybe Tom needs to watch his Guionness - but I'm on vacation!!

On to supper at the oldest pub in Ireland (1198)
