The Dublin Layover: Malahide Sights

Friday, May 23

We stayed in town today, the idea being to rest our feet from the last couple of days.

It was only a 16,800 steps/6.92 miles day.  So much for resting!

Anyways, we wandered over to the Malahide Castle grounds and park.  Quite a large area for folks to enjoy grassy fields, cricket pitches, and just simply open spaces.

Traffic was a heavy, with long backups.

There are several wood carvings along the path to the castle:

Malahide Abbey

Martha took the castle tour and I returned to the hotel after a walk along parts of Malahide Beach.

Martha, still having some energy, went into Dublin once again.  She took the Rick Steves Walking Tour I believe.  She got in 20,000 steps/8.3 miles!  

I'm peopled out and my feet hurt so I stayed back at the hotel.  I only did 3500 steps.

We had a late lunch around 2:30 p.m. at Gibney's Pub.  Burgers and Fries.

We rested the rest of the day away, preparing for the long flight back to Denver tomorrow.

Here's the sunset Ireland gave us on our last day of our Dublin Layover.

Per Martha's Fitbit, we walked close to 250 miles in the 52 days we spent traveling.  This includes the walking we did aboard the cruise ship.

We drove 4352 kilometers or 2611 miles with the rental car.

We're both quite ready to go home.
