{Travel} Day 7 Dublin -Part 2; Dublinia and Christ Church Cathedral

Back to Day 7 of our trip and it was our last full day with College Girl so we made the best of it (she had classes starting the next day).  After our morning at Trinity College and The Book of Kells, then some shopping and lunch (see it all here and here), we went to Dublinia.
Dublinia is the Irish Viking Museum.


Did you know there were Irish Vikings?  I didn't!
 

 The museum was really interesting.


 

It was self guided and just a few floors.


 One of the coolest things about the museum is that you exit through this bridge over to Christ Church Cathedral.
 But first you can go to the very top of Dublinia and get a fantastic view of the city (even when it's wet and foggy).

 








You end up in the gardens of Christ Church which are currently under construction and can't be seen from the road.
This barrier blocks the view but you can see it from inside the garden.

 These doors are gorgeous and super tall.
Walking around Dublin, you see a lot of brightly painted doors and they call them "The Doors of Dublin".
The view from our flat's kitchen window.
 Ha'penny Bridge at night.
 Ending the night with a little wine by the electric fireplace.

Our trip started here.
