Today we awoke to rain and strong winds and cold, of course.

We walked down to find the Hop-On-Hop-Off bus that will take you around town. I had ordered a 3-day pass. I was using a map I picked up in the hostel, but since Dublin has so few street signs, I wasn’t always sure of our location.

We stepped into the bus and I presented the passes and was told are only good for a single day on the bus, but we can “upgrade” each day if we want.

We rode until we saw the Dublina museum, which is a history of Dublin. Our passes got us in for free.

The end of the museum leads across the road to deposit us into the Christ Church Cathedral, which we also got free with the passes. There was a “crypt” downstairs with cool objects and some outfits from the HBO series “the Tudors” that was partly filmed there.

We jumped back on the bus and got off at the Guinness Brewery, again FREE with the passes, which included a free pint at their restaurants. During the tour they offered everyone a small (~6 oz) glass of Guinness and “taught” us all how to properly drink it. Neither of us cared for it at all.

Afterwards, we used the bus again to go to the Jameson distillery, again free entry and a shot at the end.
