The hill of Tara and Newgrange - 27.5.

I got lucky with the weather. For once.

We left for the Hill of Tara at around 10.30. And arrived there around noon.


Mound of the Hostages - Dumha na nGiall

The Rock of Destiny - Lia Fáil


And of course they have to plant Patrick there
as well.



















Next up it was a drive to Newgrange - the biggest open passage tomb. But first we had lunch at Newgrange Farm.
NTS: Don't have a tuna sandwich at a place where there
might be cats. Just kidding, this darling got her scratches. <3














Next up was the tomb itself. We weren't allowed to take pictures inside the tomb, but it was beautiful.







And that was it. We had a quick stop over at the heritage centre, but nothing special. The drive back to Dublin took about an hour. I think the greatest thing about this tour was meeting the other people on it. They were all wonderful people, and they were from all over the world.

It was only half past four, when we got back to Dublin, so I went to the hostel to change and went back out again. Spent the day window shopping, grabbed some dinner. And because I just didn't want to go back to the hostel yet, I went to see the new X-Men film. :P

Got back to the hostel at around eleven.
