Day 11: Derry to Dublin

Although I never wanted to get out from under the duvet, Ian eventually peeled it off of me and I froze instantly. When the kids and I came downstairs, the property owner had put together a nice little breakfast in the kitchen. We ate, packed, played in the yard a little and left Derry almost as quickly as we'd arrived. Although our route was not direct (read: we got lost), we made our way to Newgrange around 2pm. We ate at the cafe and took a bus to the ancient site around 3. It's an ancient burial mound that that has stones and carvings that date back 5000 years. Amazing. From there, we were about a half hour from the airport where we dropped the car off (whew!) and took a taxi into Dublin. We were very happily surprised by the comfort and location of the one-bedroom apartment that we are renting. Most importantly, it's WARM.
