Woke up at 8am just in time to go on the FREE walking tor of Dublin.
These tours are a must do in each city they are in.
They are heaps of fun and very informative and give you a great perspective of the city.
They take about 3 hours or so and you walk between 5-10 klms in the 3 hours plus.
The guides work on a tips only basis and are worth every dollar you give them. I try to give $10 a time.
We all went into an Irish pub for lunch and had a meal with the guides...
I had a nice bowl of soup and the others had this massive plate of "Irish Stew", which was a roast in reality!
There were a few tour groups doing the same tour, as 1 person can only manage under 20 people at a time.
Some pics below are great and some are epic fails as I experiment with settings on the camera. I have discovered the battery lasts only about 50 pics, which is a massive blow!
