Arriving at the hostel in Dublin on Friday night, we were well aware that the trip had crept up on us really fast and that apart from go to the guiness factory, we didn't really have a plan. One of the best things about staying in a hostel however is that there are always plenty of brochures of cheap trips around the place and after perusing these for about an hour, we settled on a day Celtic trip.

We had another great tour guide who, like the guide we had in Scotland, was a born story teller... (think both the Irish and the Scottish) are well known for this ability). We saw a lot of really cool places and heard a lot of really cool stories, but they probably won't sound so good written down, here is the general overview from the tour company

And here are our highlights:
5000 year old tomb with some pretty cool carvings on the walls. Only the priest was ever allowed to go in to 'talk to the spirits' and make sacrifices to ensure that the gods were happy with them and that the sun would come back again. Not much to look at from the outside, but very impressive that it has been there so long.

Unfortunately the King Stone on top of the Hill of Tara didn't sing for either of us (so neither of us will be the next king of Ireland). But the sunset made up for it!
