Dublin – Day 11: 16/08/2007

The alarm went off at 6:50 am GMT as usual… We had lunch in “Quiznos sub” just to take some salt bags and napkins (that we will use at dinners in the hostel). After the meal, we went to the Tourism Office to buy a postcard and to get info about a trip to Giant’s Causeway (we ended up in the Northern Ireland Tourism Office, and the treatment was fast, useful and concise), and then to the language centre to connect to Internet. At 4:20 pm we walked to Fitzwilliam Place, the street where U2 filmed the videoclip for ‘The Sweetest Thing‘ (see also: Dublin by bike). We finally found a Tesco supermarket, and we found good drinking chocolate (ColaCao, of course). We bought some food and went back to the hostel.

We can now confirm that the mysterious gate we saw (and photographed) was, in fact, Bono’s house… Yesterday was only a suspicion, now it’s a fact :-O
