We continued the day tour of Dublin by heading back to Phoenix Park - one of the largest city park in Europe. Our main aim was to cover Dublin Zoo here - but again we were disappointed as the last admission to the zoo was closed by 3 pm itself.Though we were not able to visit the Zoo that day, we have seen the zoo another day - will explain more on that in the upcoming articles. But we did some more walking around the phoenix park exploring the green beauty of nature.
We were totally tired, exhausted and finally grabbed a taxi back to National Wax Museum to wrap up our day tour in Dublin. The wax museum was fully filled with wax figures of all celebrities, Hollywood stars, movie characters, political and historical figures etc. I particularly liked the wax figures of Smeagol or Gollum from Lord of the Rings and Yoda from Starwars. They were looking so real.
Other wax figures included Oscar Wilde, George Bernard Shaw,Michael Jackson, Frankenstein, Dracula, Pierce Brosnan, Harry Potter & team and so on.. You would have already guessed that we would have stood beside these wax figures and completed our photo sessions. Yes you are right :)
By the end of day, we would have covered the major visitor attractions of Dublin. You can make use of all the major transport in Dublin if you are up to do a day tour.
Other than walking, you can go in double deck Dublin bus, or tram (which is like a mini train between the roads) or dart (Dublin Area Rapid transit - It is same like the metro train between small stations).

Also there are Hop on Hop Off buses, Dublin tour buses, Viking bus / splash tour, Dublin Ghost bus tour etc. Though we have not taken all these transport there, I guess the viking splash tour is fun and adventurous.
As I have seen the visitors feeling the Viking effect by putting on the Viking helmet and roaring with enthusiasm all the way from road to water.
OK, I will explain on our next day trip with a different location in my next part of the article.
