Today we were anchored in the port of Dun Laoghaire which is a suburb of Dublin. This is a tender port. We were here last summer on our Voyage of thr Vikings cruise.
Today my excursion was "A walk Through Dublin". Kathy was getting over a bad head cold and sore throat and decided to stay on the ship today.
I don't think I will see a sunrise today
