30th Anniversay cont'd Days 5 - aka Trafalgar excursion to GlendaLough

This is the first day with our bus trip and we started with an excursion to some old ruins and the start of the scenic parts of Ireland we are beginning to see and love.
The place was beautiful with some babbling brooks, old trees and interesting architecture. At the gateway to the ruins, an old timer is practicing her Irish bag pipes.




After a short walk we came upon the ruins and some grave stones. Some of the stones had a bit of writing on them that could be seen.




And two of them fell down so the my lovely wife had to crawl through to get to the other side.

After a while our tour guide had mentioned that there was a great photo shot to be had, as a extra that other companies don't give. It was to go behind the church wall that was standing and take a photo of the tower through the window. So I included a shot of the tower from outside the ruined church.




The bus returned to the hotel, and dropped off people who wanted to see more of Dublin. So we got off downtown and walked around the campus of Trinity College. Walking over to Grafton St checking out the mall and the museums that we had time for.  The skies opened up on our way back to the hotel. 

This is from inside the Campus of Trinity College and the following is a piece of art at other end of campus.

Below are the Grafton St mall and the museum of Dublin.






The next blog will be leaving Dublin for Irish stud farm and Waterford Crystal, part 6
