On our last too short day in Dublin, we started early to gain a satisfying stroll before leaving for the airport. Following a hearty breakfast, we made our way again to the River Liffey. We joined the river, as well as the bustling morning commuters, for a walk downstream along the bachelors' quay toward the Grand Canal. Arriving at the Grand Canal, we started at the industrial docks amid heavy construction and headed south on the canal.
Once away from the frantic congestion we relished the stroll through the quieter neighborhoods along the canals' banks. The canal narrowed as we followed, passing locks and Victorian bridges. As we leisurely walk, we spy a barge anchored in the canal serving as a wine bistro. The morning commute seems almost serene along this portion of the canal and we are sorry to depart the canals' banks as our time grows short.
Soon we are back in the hectic scurry of the morning, we make our way back through Merrion Square and St.Stephen's Green before arriving at Grafton Street. Traveling back to the Liffey for one last look along it's banks before sadly returning to the hotel to pack. The morning's poignant stroll has not satiated our appetite for this island as we sadly returned to our hotel for the last time. After packing and checking out we grabbed a taxi to take us to Dublin Airport. After our arrival at the airport we watched several showers pass over before uneventfully boarded our flight home.
