Holiday in Dublin - Part 3 Sadly on Sunday morning we had a bit of "lergy" in the apartment, so Lucy, Lucy & James stayed home to rest whilst Bob & I (bottom right) headed out. First stop was Kilmainham Gaol, which was fully booked online, but we got there just before 9am to see if they had any walk-up tickets available. It being Bank Holiday weekend and the time of remembering the hundred year anniversary of the Easter Rising, we were fortunate that there were 2 spaces on the first tour of the day. The photos below the panorama are all of the Gaol, including the place where the Easter Rising patriots were shot. Very moving. We got back on the hop on - hop off bus tour and met the others for lunch. Dublin really is a beautifully varied city.

Saturday consisted of a massive home-cooked breakfast (thanks Bob) and lots of travelling round Dublin. We got Bus Tour tickets which took us around most of the city and dropped us off at Trinity College (Yes, I gave it the wrong name in the collage) for a few hours to see the Book of Kells. The highlight, of course, was seeing Mouse again and meeting her lovely fella, Mark!

A short video on the All’s Changed 1916-2016 project I’m working on, shooting 2016 through 1916 lenses.
