On our way to Dublin we took a train and saw the beautiful countryside of London and Wales. We even saw some old castles nestled up in the hills of Wales. The ferry ride across the Irish sea was a sight! The ferry we took on the way over, the Jonathan Swift (named after the author of Gulliver's Travels) is the fastest in the world, while the one we returned on, the Ulysses, is the largest. It felt like a cruise ship; so different from the ferries in the San Juan Islands that Taylor would go on when he was younger.
It was really windy in Dublin, yet we enjoyed the cooler weather. The hotel was in an area called Tallaght, about 40min from downtown Dublin. It was out of the way, although a local told us it was a dangerous area; it was quiet with no problems while we were there. We enjoyed being out of London and in a suburban area again without so much noise!
