Day 6 in Dublin

9-5-17 After a quick ride back to Dublin from Limerick we hopped on the HOHO to see a few more sites. Starting with the Oscar Wilde House, Sculpture and a super good lunch at Oscar's Bar and Kitchen. Then a short walk to the National Museum of Ireland - Natural History Museum AKA The Dead Zoo..... Super creepy cool! And a ride out to Kilmainham Gaol for another creepyish visit, a cruise through Phoenix Park by the Dublin Zoo, dinner and drinks at Nancy Hands Bar & Restaurant just in time to catch the last HOHO back to town!
