下午快三點，我們才抵達都柏林。巴特堅持當晚就要去還車，於是走了一段路到梅林廣場，就跳上遊覽車走馬看花地逛一圈，草草地完成了都柏林的初體驗。
[NL] Wanneer we bij Dublin kwamen, was het al bijna 15 uur in de middag. Bart wou precies die avond de gehuurde auto terugbrengen, dus we hadden alleen paar uurtjes om deze grote stad te bezoeken. Toen we bij Merrion Square waren, hebben we de touristbus genomen om zoveel mogelijk te zien in korte tijd. Zo hebben we onze eerste indruk van Dublin gehad en voor zeker komen we nog een keer terug voor een diepere kennismaking.
[EN] When we arrived Dublin, it’s almost 15pm already. Bart would like to return the car in evening, thus we had only limited time to visit this city. After a short walk to Merrion Square, we decided to take the citysightseeing bus to learn the city in faster way.
