Dublin Break. Day Three {Final Day}

Hey Jelly Beans.

Today was my final day here in Dublin. I'm Currently sat outside a cute little café having a coffee after visiting The Science Gallery.

 
This attraction is well worth the visit. It's free, interesting and if you love anything Science related then you will love this place. I spent a long while looking around the exhibit's which were truly fascinating. I noticed that there were many families in there with younger children, so I suggest it would be a good place to visit during the holidays with children.
 
Once I had finished I took a stroll along the streets and pottered around all the little shops before taking a well earned break here.
 
Like I said today has been my last day here in Dublin. Cases packed and ready to head home tomorrow and I will miss it here.
 
Overall Experience.
 
I have had such a blast here seeing some truly amazing things. The Castle was amazing and worth the trip but the thing that stood out most for me was the Famine Sculptures. I can not express how moving and sad but at the same time fantastic they really are. They are an experience I will take home with me.
 
Ashling Hotel
 
Beautiful room. Located close to the bus stops and tram stations. Reception and all staff very helpful. Check in was easy. They have a luggage scale that is useful when packing bags for return flights (which I seriously needed!). Wifi was great (small blip to begin with forgotten about). Highly recommend staying here to family and friends. I would stay here again.
 
Well friends, I'm going to finish off my coffee now and head back to the hotel to finish off packing. Thank you for staying with my on my second adventure. Look forward to speaking to you again soon.
