Day 1

Sunday 19th July Day One

Arrive Dublin International Airport on Aer Lingus 132 at approx. 7.30am
Leaving passport control & luggage area, ready to depart by 9.15am

The journey from the airport into the city is not great (approx 7 miles) but with early morning traffic this could take 30/40 minutes.

Arrive centre of the city by approx. 10.00am

8-night stay at the Harding hotel.
Good quality 2-star hotel with all en-suite rooms, colour t/v and tea/coffee making facilities in each room and adjoining Irish bar.

Superbly situated next to Christ Church cathedral and just 7/8 minutes walk from St Patrick’s Cathedral, yet only 5 minutes walk from Temple Bar and 6/8 minutes walk from Trinity College/Grafton Street and central Dublin.

Time to unload and book in if possible (dependent on time of arrival)

We may need to lose some time in the city prior to arriving at the hotel: it all depends on when rooms are ready.

Lunch own arrangements

Rest of the afternoon to wander and acclimatise with the city.

Evening meal own arrangements.
