Today we off for a bit of
sightseeing, first on the list is the Guinness Storehouse Brewery. Of course, a free taste is waiting when you
finish the tour. We learned how to build
the perfect pint and got a certificate to prove we can do it. After hitting the gift shop, we headed out
once again.
The weather is quite unpredictable-
sunny one minute and a downpour the next.
We head to the nearest tree or overhang and bring an umbrella and
raincoat whenever we are out and about.
The other thing we discovered-
bringing the correct electrical plug adapter can be tricky. Luke, Lynne, and the Apple store clerk, all
told me the UK adapter would not work and I needed to bring the European
adapter instead. So I left all my UK
adapters behind at Dave & Lynne’s. Guess what they use the UK electrical outlets
here and I can’t charge any of my gadgets.
Now I know I am on vacation and should turn off my phone and should have
left my computer at home, but I need my iPad to read and my computer to blog-
right? I’m just a techie at heart. So to make a long story even longer, we have
been trying to find the Apple store for two days.
After leaving Guinness, we headed
down to City Centre and over to Trinity College. Adam works for George Washington University
in DC and this college is associated with GWU.
Also, The Book of Kells, is housed in the Berkley Library. I loved walking through the library and
inhaling the sent of old books.
The search for the Apple store
continues: Adam has the map and Mark asked for directions and it is pouring
rain. We managed to walk completely around the block and end up where we
started, giving up we asked someone at the Tourism Information shop, and found
out it was 4 shops down, directly across from the exit for Trinity
College. But hey it was worth it, I can
now charge all my gadgets and again post on my blog.
We met up with the rest of the family
for supper at an Irish Pub with live music.
The Irish are certainly a lively group. I love it.
