OMG, it's -1°! (Dublin part 2)

Sunday we awoke to a fresh layer of snow and ice. We spent the majority of the day trying not to loose fingers and toes. There were no words to describe how cold we were.

We waited an hour for the bus by our hotel in the middle of nowhere (thank you Nikky, our lovely travel agent). Then, we got sidetracked on the way to the train depot and ended up back at Trinity College where we found this :


 


West Coast Coffee saved our lives (and our toes :)

We finally made it on the train and headed out to a town called Howth (pronounced who-th). It was about 20 minutes north of Dublin on the coast.



It was a very picturesque fishing village.



We found a lovely spot to take pictures. Unfortunately, these ladies didn't care :(


So we had to find a new one...


After we had taken a good look around Howth, we scampered back to the train station to get to Malahide Castle before dark.

Sadly, we had to wait 30 minutes in the cold to catch the connecting train. To distract ourselves from our frozen feet, we had a photoshoot to pass the time. Here are a few of my favorites...






We ended the day at Malahide Castle. We had to basically run a mile in the snow to get there, but it was so worth it :)
