Today we head for Kilkenny

But hair on a tin whistle sure I never saw ...

... so beautiful that I was perfectly happy with that view.
My next journey, back towards my hotel, brought me to the Temple Bar area of Dublin where there were many bars and restaurants. It is here where I decided to stop for some dinner.
