Ireland Travel Experience - Part 7

                                       The next day trip which we planned was to Howth Harbour - Howth is a village located in the outer suburb of Dublin. We took the Dart service from Tara Street to Howth. The ticket costs around 5.20 euro. By 10:40 a.m we got the Dart and reached Howth by 11:10 a.m. Roamed around the harbour and took some scenic shots. Saw some mini ships sailing around as well across the sea. The weather was as usual - cold and windy. Finished our lunch by taking burgers and potato chips from Fish N Chips. There were so many sea gulls flying, walking and echoing around the Howth harbour. We fed some potato chips to few of the sea gulls and soon we were surrounded by so many. Then walked back to the Howth dart station @ 1:40 p.m and reached back Tara Street.

Then we went to the Trinity College - the place we always used to pass by while going for lunch during office hours. Though we have clicked some basic snaps inside Trinity College, this time we had gone inside to visit Book of Kells containing the four gospels of Christ from Bible. Book of Armagh, Book of Mulling, Book of Dimma were the other manuscripts displayed.

All alphabets forming words, sentences and languages were so different that time. Then we entered the long room inside the Trinity college library and was awestruck by the books aligned up and down as a treasure. Statues of all time great personalities like Socrates, Shakespeare, Aristotle, Plato were present beside the book shelves as two straight rows. After that we went to the National Library exhibition center to know more about W.B.Yeats and his collections of poems, articles and books. A list of poems read by famous friends of W.B.Yeats were shown in the audio visual room. Books are always our companions. It gives us more insight into different topics, thoughts and aspects of life. After visiting those libraries in Dublin, you will get interested in knowing more about Irish history, culture, art , language and places.
