After a rocky start getting kids ready and launched, we headed "An Lar" or into the City Center.
We had two o'clock reservations for the Viking Splash Tour!
After watching the reservations remain open all week I had decided to book at the last minute to make sure we had the right timing (Maggie needed to study and she had plans to go to the mall with friends and we had considered going back to Enfield for more Flaegh action). Today though it had nearly complete booked up so we could only find three available seats where we wanted.
After donning our Viking caps and learning how to "roar" we headed out on our amphibious ex-WWII* craft to explore the city.
Here's a Youtube snippet of our guide telling us about the origin of the name "Dublin."
It was a fun tour around the city, pointing out all of the Viking landmarks. We only entered into the water for a bit around the Grand Canal and explored the area a bit. The highlight for me was the U2 studio.
We then headed down Grafton for a bit of shopping, sight-seeing and, of course, Murphy's Ice Cream.
Lynne loved the buskers.
Check out our little leprechauns below!
Another grand day in Dublin.
*Apparently these vehicles that can cover both street and sound were made in the U.S. for the D-Day at Normandy and can be purchased (in quite terrible condition) for a mere $40,000.
