As
seeing the Book of Kells was
high on
my list of things to do in
Dublin, we decided to go early
on Friday morning. Although we arrived well before opening time,
there was already a lineup, but no-where as long as on Thursday. It
cost 17 euros for us both to go in, and there was a full display
including the Book of Amagh,
the Book
of Mulling, and the Book of
Kells. http://www.tcd.ie/Library/bookofkells/
No
photos were allowed inside that part of the display, but I was able
to take some in The Old
Library.
The rest of the day was spend
doing research at the
National Library of Ireland. We
enjoyed our dinner at O'Sheas
Pub so much we returned.
The street was still
noisy at night but
I slept a bit better.
