The fun continues!!

We have had a couple of busy days here in Dublin!! On Friday, we got up found coffee and then walked through the botanical gardens(there weren't actually any gardens there, just a big park). Then we went to the museum of natural history and then the museum of archaeology. We walked around in another park after that soaking up the beautiful day!! After that, we came back and had lunch at a pub near our bed and breakfast, and then went back and took a nap before the soccer game!! We found tickets for the World Cup qualifier that morning between Ireland and Germany, and were really excited to go. The game was at 7:45 and we left around 6:30 (having no idea of where the stadium was) halfway there, we realized that we forgot to write down our confirmation number for the tickets. Once we finally found a wifi spot, we read the email and found out that we had to pick up the tickets at this hotel which we had no idea where it was. After asking around, we learned that the box office was about a mile down the road and that it was closing once the game started!! We made a mad dash for the hotel running the whole way there, but luckily got there just in time to collect our tickets!! The game was really fun as it was in aviva stadium, which has a really cool design. Our seats were really good too, although there were German fans sitting by us and as the game was not going in the favor of Ireland, they were rather annoying! In the end, Germany won 6 to 1 with Ireland scoring the one point in the last few seconds. After the game we walked home and went to bed!
We woke up early on Saturday (5:30am)!! To go to the bus stop for our day tour of the cliffs of moher. Along the way, we stopped at st.johns castle in limerick, corcomore abbey, and the burren. Last time I was at the cliffs of moher, I stayed mostly to where the castle was on the right side, however this time, Mitch jt and I hopped the "danger" zone fence and went all the way to the left side of the cliffs. It was pretty scary as at some points there would only be a couple feet between you and the edge!! We had a good time and got some really good pictures. We got back to Dublin around 7:30 pm and found a pub called the boars head to eat dinner and have drinks in. We then went back to our bed and breakfast and went to bed!! Fun day!!!!
