After another huge Irish Breakfast at the Rose Park B&B Ken and Pam picked us up again and drove us to Bray just south of Dublin. Pam was catching the ferry to Wales from Rosslare tomorrow, so Bray was on their way. Ken drove across the middle of Ireland covering a lot of country we would never have seen fro a train. There seems to be more trees in this part of Ireland. We caught the DART train back up to Dublin and arrived at the North Star Hotel, which is opposite Connolly Station at 2.10 pm. They charged us for last night's room because we were required to cancel 24 hours before check-in time and sent them an email 19 hours before it. That was fair enough but when we got the hotel wifi (free for one day only to pacify us) an email from Booking.com informrd us that the Hotel had reported us as a "No show". This email asked us to advise whether this was correct so we set the record straight. After settling in we went to Ireland Rail Tours and booked into tours to The Ring of Kerry on Wednesday and Galway on Thursday. Then we did a circuit of the east end of Dublin.
