Europe 2007: Day 2 (London/Dublin)

We woke up around 7am and found a patisserie near the hotel for breakfast. We had croissants, fruit and coffee before heading back to the hotel's business center to print our boarding passes. After readying our bags, we spent a bit of time walking around the neighborhood to see what was near-by since we would be returning to the same hotel when we came back from Dublin.

We took the Heathrow Express train from Paddington Station to the airport and then flew on BMI to Dublin. The flight was less than an hour and we arrived around 2:40pm. We ate lunch at the airport, bought a new card for the cellphone, and took the Aircoach bus to our hotel, the Roxford Lodge in Ballsbridge. Mike found great reviews for the Lodge online and they did not disappoint. We found Madigans Pub nearby for dinner - it was very quiet which was great. Mike had his first fish and chips (and Guinness, of course) and I had chicken and chips.

Since I still wasn't feeling well and we had a long day planned for Wednesday, we went to bed early that night.
