Dublin City Tour

After contemplating over the Saturday, it's been decided that we will be joining Dublin City tour. Paid up euro 20 and waited a while at St. Stephen Green road for the yellow bus and we boarded on the guided tour and were given briefing on the various attraction in Dublin.

A pic that I have taken of one of the highlights in Dublin. The sign is actually the bus stop sign in Dublin. It's the tenth location in Dublin.


Location #10 Dublin Castle.

Jumped on the yellow bus and the journey lasted about 45 minutes. The yellow bus took us to Dawson street, Temple Bar and the various bridges over famous Liffey river. A picture of the yellow buses below:

I wasn't wearing long johns, it was cold sitting on the upper deck at temperatures about 10 celsius with the wind blowing. Although I had 3 layers of clothing, but it wasn't sufficient, but it was rather enjoyable eventhough it was cold and wet.

The city tour fare of 20 euros is a 24 hour ticket, it includes the yellow buses as well as the red buses(pic below). However, the last bus out is 4.30pm but by then it will be dark. One rather funny thing that I have noticed is, while I have 2 out of 3 layers of thick clothing, the indian guy in the picture below is only wearing a t-shirt. CY joked about the reason that he can stand the cold weather is because he takes curry :)
