Part 2 - Ireland
June 11 - 29, 2019 - Trip to Canada, Ireland & Greece

Our second leg of the trip was to Ireland.  We left Montreal at 9 pm at night and got into Ireland at 6 AM...therefore missing a whole nights sleep. (That is a little rough at our age haha) Should have slept on the plane but that was impossible for me. We had our hotel in Dublin at the RAdison Blu in the middle of downtown and central to everything.  We managed to cover most all of the country and even made it up for a tour in Northern Ireland to see all of the Game of Throne filming locations.  Beautiful country.

 Best food we found of EVERYWHERE!! OMG....if you are in Dublin you must check this place out.   The Lucky Tortoise - Fusion Chinese.  They only have 8 tables so you must make reservations.  We went there 2 times.
