Goodbye Liverpool/Welcome back to Dublin

It was a bright sunny day as we said goodbye to the beautiful city of Liverpool. I really enjoyed our stay there and the newly refurbished waterfront is a perfect place to stay.

We got to the ferry port very early around 7:30am and we sailed at 10:00am on the dot. The sun had already risen and I got a lovely shot of the Liverpool skyline as we sailed off.

The trip was very relaxing and we rested, read, had a nice lunch watching the water and simply enjoyed not running around. We crossed the sometimes choppy waters of the Irish Sea in only 7 hours.

As we arrived in Dublin we had a spectacular sunset to greet us and there was an adorable little red lighthouse right as you approach the dock.

We are staying in the Camden Court Hotel in the heart of Dublin and it's really wonderful. When we arrived a group of about 32 New Yorkers had also arrived. They all work for a company that runs Irish Pubs in the US predominately in Rhode Island, Connecticut and Atlantic city. A very sweet man, Rich helped us with our luggage to our room and told us that they were all here as an incentive gift from their company where he is the Controller. It was nice to hear a New York accent after all these months.

We have an enormous room with three double beds and mom and I took a quick dip in the hotels pool before we all headed out for a casual dinner and a walk around this charming old city.
